Tailgate Hinge Problems of Chevrolet Trailblazer

My 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer ext lts tailgate glass door hinge cap popped off and had to be repaired/replaced (hinges, fiberglass cap, glass, etc). I was informed by mr. Kenneth lamott of the 1st avenue body shop, inc. In great falls mt that this is a known issue and apparent design defect that Chevrolet knows about. However they will not recognize it as a recall item. It is my understanding from mr. Lamott was to not drive the vehicle on highways should it come loose again as it will dislodge and present oncoming traffic with a hazard that could cause damages, injury and possibly death if it impacted and passed thru a windshield hitting the driver or passenger.

Regarding 2003 chevy. Trail blazer (3 row seating version). The tail gate binds and will not open. I took the vehicle to a chevy. Dealer. They called me back and said that the entire window, struts, high mount brake light and trim blew out when the mechanic opened the tailgate to repair it. The impact was so intense that it knocked the mechanic down on the ground. This is very dangerous matter and gm should do something about this. We or the mechanic could have been injured. They originally wrote up the repair for $25 but now my bill is $1000. The dealer wants me to turn it into my insurance. The dealer force the tailgate open and caused the damage. I think they are responsible.
