general problems of the 2003 Chevrolet Suburban

The rear windows of the 2003 Chevrolet Suburban and tahoe automobiles (and presumably other model years as well) are simply glued to hinges. A great number of these windows have delaminated from the hinges. I was told by the Chevrolet service advisor two days ago (when I took my Suburban in for replacement of the rear window) that he has seen a large number of the window delaminations. He further advised me that if both hinges delaminate (which will eventually occur due to the extra weight being placed on a remaining hinge) that the window will separate from the automobile. If this occurs at high speed the consequences could be fatal for the automobile following behind. The service advisor stated that there should have already been a recall on the rear windows of Suburbans and tahoes.

The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Suburban. While the vehicle was parked in the contact's garage, she noticed that the rear window hinges separated from the body of the vehicle. The contact did not notice any differences in the vehicle prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the rear window needed to be replaced. The vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer. The current and failure mileages were 85,000.

I have a 2003 Suburban with 72k miles. About 12 months ago, the rear window began making a whistling noise while driving. When I inspected it I found that the hinge on the passenger side had separated from the window. I have tried to go through gm with no avail. Their answer is "it shouldn't have happened", but they are not going to do anything about it.
