problem #3

Aug 122004

Tahoe 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 27,500 miles
Upon opening the liftgate glass on my 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe the passenger side body-to-glass hinge separated from the glass. The glass will latch but does not make a weatherproof seal and can not be opened.

Tahoe 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

Back glass lift gate hing came unglued/unattached and when we opened the window, it sprung way out of wack and wouldn't close properly. Chevrolet dealer that fixed it, said they have seen many of these hinges fail.

Tahoe 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

Liftate glass separates from hinges.local dealer and local glass shops say this is common problem. Chevrolet denies ever hearing of this trouble. If this had happened at highway speeds the back window would have shattered and who knows what the end result could have been.
