I just bought this vehicle. The rear window release button is pushed all the way in and will not open the window. While I had the rear hatch apart I was going to put in a mechanism to allow opening the rear hatch from inside. I think this should be a factory recall to install 1. A more reliable door and window latch system and 2. To put in a inside release mechanism. I don't understand why there are over 300 technical service bulletins listed for this vehicle in the GMC site but only 13 according to NHTSA.
