Rear window hinge broke off from window frame on 2003 Suburban. Very rarely opened window by itself always opened entire hatch. Can not find any recalls or complaints by gm but yet can find several 100 complaints by individuals. Gm wants 1,000 to fix. It is obviously a design flaw after paying $43,000 for it gm should step up. They will check the welds on rear window for a flaw but not the hatch part which is what breaks. Have always bought Chevrolet and this is the longest one I have owned but I will be heading to a different real soon. Read about the window blowing out at highway speeds--guess we shouldn't care if it is blowing away from us--right.

The contact owns a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban 2500. The contact was driving approximately 45 mph and the trailer hitch began to drag on the roadway. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road and inspected. The frame was cracked and bent significantly where the trailer hitch was attached. The contact was able to resume operation with caution. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 121,000.

I have a 2005 Chevrolet surburban. The back hatch window has plastic or rubber hinges to hold it to the frame. The window also has a bolt to hold the piston cylinders so the window could close and open. The window frame where it holds the hinge broke off and now the hinge or bolt that holds the cylinders for the window is coming loose. I have cannot open the window hatch in the rear or it will not close. I bought the Suburban brand new and I don't thing this should be happening in four years.

I was driving on the highway when I heard a blast of air like a tornado or hurricane in my car. Papers and things in my car started flying. When I stopped I discovered that the rear window had seperated itself from the frame at the top and was now open by an inch. The window is designed to open from the bottom with a latch. The two hinges at the top of the window had now also snapped broken from the window, leaving only the sides attached. This is a very large window and could have totally come off in traffic causing great harm to others. If the window had been open as it is also designed it would have blown off. I have since found that the collision repair place I used said he had another just like it the week before. In trying to replace the window with another used one he found that the adhesive was also starting to do the same, therefore it was necessary to replace it with a new one. In fixing the window the collision expert showed how easy it would be for the manufacturer to fix. It needs both sides of the hinges bolted. I do feel this should be addressed to save others harm. I have also saved all parts personally for any/all inspection.

Normal use for four years. The failure was the window on the rear hatch has mostly separated from the vehicle as the glue holding it on is no longer sufficient to hold it on. There is a gap at the bottom of the window where it is raising up, looking as if it could fly off and hit vehicles behind while driving. Nothing has been done yet to replace it as the cost is astronomical in the amount of $1200 quoted by the dealership where vehicle was purchased.

Vehicle has a chronic water leak on the passenger side footwell area. Every time it rains water enters into passenger compartment. Dealer has had two chances to fix problem. On the second occasion the vehicle was in for a week. The vehicle still has not been fixed. The dealer is not willing to work on vehicle, and my phone calls are not returned.
