One problem related to carrier/rack has been reported for the 2005 Chevrolet Suburban. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The rear window in the rear lift door has delaminated and cracked at the passenger side of the window causing the window shift. I called general motors on 3/26/13 at 4pm and talked to a phone rep. The case # 71-1167960651 was given to me by rep. Alli@ 866-790-5600 ext. 12943. I was advised to go to the cronic chev. Dealer in griffin GA. Where I purchased the vehicle so they could see the situation. The area dist. Manager was called. Bottom line, I was told that they could do nothing as it was due to "age, wear and tear". The dealer said it would cost $862. 00 & $200. 00 to install. They also suggested I could call safelite auto and they would install an after market glass for $462. 90, parts & labor. I have seen many complaints online regarding this issue and general motors will do nothing. I did see the new Suburban and seen changes in the way the window is mounted. Something need to be done!.
