2 Hatchback/liftgate Hinge problem

Failure Date: 09/20/2004

I own a 2004 Chevrolet Suburban. The right hinge for the liftgate window has cracked and there is a possibility that when driving, the window could fall off if wind gets within the window and the hinges. Gm is ignoring any complaints on this even though they are all over the internet.
