I went to close my hatchback on my 2008 Trailblazer yester and after closing the door a few seconds later the glass exploded. Some on the inside of the car and some on the outside. The truck was parked. I now have a cut on my finger that may need stitches. I hear this is a very common problem with these trucks.

The liftback emblem on the back of the car and the emblem on the front began to disintegrate after about one year. I don't have any reason it just started. People and mechanics have been telling me that they were bad and the replacement was high.
