Trailblazer 4WD 6-cyl

  • 8,000 miles
The back hatch does not open in during the winter. The button on the outside of the back hatch to push in gets stuck and the hatch will not unlock. This happens many of times during the winter months. I have been complaining to my dealer about this and they claim its noting wrong. Once the button sticks on the back of the hatch it will not release the hatch to open.

Our car was parked, the entire back hatch was open (not just the glass window) and I was unloading bags and boxes from car. The rear window exploded into tiny pieces of glass that rained down on me. Getting embedded in my head, back and arms. Neighbors came running the sound was so loud. The car had not been involved in any kind of collision and there was nothing that hit the window. I had been to the vehicle several times since the door had been opened because I had lots of items to unload. Now I have been noticing many other Trailblazers that have missing components from the rear window leading me to think that their windows have had to be replaced also. Had we been driving that day when this happened, with the force in which the glass flew, I am sure that the children in the back seat would have been hit with the glass.
