1 Hatchback/liftgate Hinge problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2010

The right hinge of the rear lift glass on 2003 GMC Yukon failed causing a dangerous condition whereby the rear glass could blow out, or otherwise fall off the car. I am told the entire rear lift glass must be replaced.

2 Hatchback/liftgate Hinge problem

Failure Date: 08/14/2008

The rear hinge on the lft glass came away from the glass, leaving the rear window unsafe. Fortunately I noticed and had it repaired (replaced) before an accident occurred.

3 Hatchback/liftgate Hinge problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2006

The hinge holding the rear window to the liftgate is pulling away from the glass. I am afraid that the window is going to fall off of the vehicle. Also, the window has shifted from its intended position so that whenever I open the liftgate, the top of the window catches on the top of the body.

4 Hatchback/liftgate Hinge problem

Failure Date: 08/17/2006

The window hinge on the rear window of my 2003 GMC Yukon became disconnected from the window. This has been used very rarely, and the vehicle is always garaged. It seems like a manufacturer defect, or design flaw. . . Not something that failed because of normal wear and tear. Without repair, this could lead to window separation and harm to other vehicles following me on the highway.
