Window pop after rolled up scaring the !@#$% out of you could be 1/2 hour later or right away or driving over a bump. Noise so bad my wife dropped her cigarette it made her scream too. Read article that these gm window can shatter. I'm afraid mine will too. Needs recall to fix.
This vehicle has had a problem with the defroster that began at under 20,000 miles. The dealer has attempted repairs twice under warranty. As I am once again having the problem, and off of the warranty, I began looking on the internet for information. It turns out that the transfer case vacuum switch goes bad and allows the fluid in the transfer case to be drawn up into the hvac system. This causes, among other problems, the defroster to not operate. This is a very difficult and expensive problem to correct as the entire hvac system must be flushed out and any bad parts replaced. This seems to be fairly common and yet gm will do nothing off warranty, and in my case did not correct the problem under warranty. I believe a recall is in order.
Turned on windshield wipers and nothing happened. Made it to the side of the road during downpour. Checked fuses and still nothing. Faulty solders on wiper control board. Dangerous situation as visibility was greatly impaired. Could have caused a life threatening crash.
