problem #3

May 032010

Suburban

  • 98,912 miles
While driving down the road, the rear window fell off of the vehicle. Upon inspection, I noticed the hinges holding the window to the vehicle had broken. The rear window is hardly ever opened, so it cannot be due to overuse. If I had been driving on the highway it may have killed someone. Instead I only have to replace my entire rear window. After researching this online, I found that this has happened to a lot of people, but that the maker of the vehicle denies that it is happening.
