4 Body problem

Failure Date: 05/02/2015

The hatch back, both the glass and the whole tail gate, worked fine until two days ago and now neither one will open. I think this is a huge safety concern. I have kids that ride in the 3rd row seats, and if something was to happen to the front of the vehicle or other doors, my kids would have no way to get out of the back!!.

6 Body problem

Failure Date: 07/25/2013

Was driving south on hwy77 when my Tahoe starting to bounce on the front end then starting fish tailing from white line to white line tried to correct and had no stering. Then went off the right side of road and hit a drieway and flip end over end then back over headed in the oposite way. There was a person watching the accident happend and he stated that the truck was bouncing going down the road then went out of control and fliped. Had Tahoe serviced in March for a poping noise at richard kay superstore in anderson south carolina where they stated they fixed the problem. Stated was a stering shaft. They replaced it. Callaway wrecker service stated that there was a problem in the front end that was very suspeious. With one of the wheels and where was connected to the frame. This would have been where the bouncing came from where the tire was turned side wasys .

7 Body problem

Failure Date: 12/24/2012

We purchased our 2005 Tahoe brand new and have kept up with regular maintenance and it has been a great, safe car. For christmas we were out of town visiting family and when we arrived to unload the car, we discovered the lift gate and the glass were stuck in the lock position. We could not get either open to load|unload our luggage and|or gifts. There is no manual key hole in the button, which I find odd that some models of the same year has them and some don?t. I am concerned that since I have a 3rd row of seats, and in my eyes with passengers in the back ? they cannot get out if there is an emergency. To me, a recall should be issued for the safety of the individuals who ride in the vehicle and gm should take ownership regardless of warranty or not.
