In a camping situation we could only exit from the rear hatch and it could not be opened from the inside. Also, when attempting to unlock the mechanism would not unlock the hatch. This was a very unsafe scenario - locked in the car with no door exit. Finally, climbed from the window. Once home we realized how this was such a bad issue so we did research. Apparently since 2006 all suburban, Yukons, and denalis have this recurring issue compounding the already unsafe design of not being able to open rear hatch from the interior. There are thousands of owners that have experienced this issue. It is a design flaw along with a poorly functioning locking mechanism. This will end up in a future fatality. It needs to be recalled immediately. There are homemade fixes on the internet that may also cause new issues. . Read more...

GMC Yukon 2000 and above models. Tail gate window installation. Window is attached to vehicle with plastic fasteners which tend to break and cause the window to come separated from the window frame. The window is then attached to the vehicle primarily by the window lock. To my knowledge this has happened to my 2000 Yukon xl, to my daughter's 2001 Yukon xl and when I took the vehicle to the dealership shop for repair I was told by the shop personnel that they had fixed several like vehicle with the same problem. The replacement window is completely redesigned indicating that the factory has become aware of the problem, but has no called for a recall. This has been appearing for several years. The only way I have to date was to place the incident date as today's date.
