We are unable to open the rear liftgate with the fob. So, we continued to look for a key latch and to our shock we realized it could not be unlocked manually. After a lot of frustration and anguish of trying to load groceries through the back seat and having to literally go over 3rd row seat to put groceries in cargo area, we thought how awful it would be if we needed to exit out the back door in case of an accident. We discovered we could not unlock or open the liftgate from the inside either. It gave me a very uneasy feeling as we transport children to and from school. This problem is definitely a safety issue. We contacted a local Chevrolet dealer and they are not willing to even check our vehicle unless we fork over $120. 00+ and then we have to wait a week for them to even look at it. This is very disheartening to us as we have always had a lot of confidence in the Chevrolet name, well we are not so sure now.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact could not open the liftgate with the keyless entry remote.

The molding for the hinges on the rear glass hatch starting cracking. Hinges broke when opening the rear hatch glass fell half way out almost hitting me, didn't brake. My back glass will not operate properly and im having to cover it with a tarp so rain doesn't get inside. Nothing permanent has been done yet.

I purchased a 2002 Tahoe in August and recently noticed a popping sound when I would lift the hatchback. Upon further investigation, I could see that the whole hatchback glass was sagging on one side. I realized that the components that held the glass to the frame was badly cracked and starting to let go. I had bought the extended warranty, but was told this was a glass issue, and would not be covered. After several calls to the dealership, they agreed to have a gm representative evaluate the situation to see if they could replace it at no charge, $802. 50, in the end the dealership replaced the glass for me.
