2004 Chevrolet TAHOE Structure Body Hatchback Liftgate Hinge And A Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	885404
Internal NHTSA #	10428754
Manufacurer	GENERAL MOTORS LLC
Brand	CHEVROLET
Model	TAHOE
Model Year	2004
File date	22/08/09
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:HINGE AND A
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The hinge that holds the rear lift gate window onto the vehicle has broken/separated from the glass due to stress or improper installation. The window is in tact, but the window part of the lift gate cannot be opened and closed properly and when closed, it is not seated in the proper position. This part of the lift gate has probably been used about 5 times in the life of the truck which now has about 53,000 miles on it. I have reported the problem to chevrolet which denies any knowledge of this happening to other vehicles. I am concerned about the possibility of the window breaking loose entirely during the time the vehicle is being driven. Chevrolet's only option is to 'try' to glue the part back onto the window or replace the window entirely at my cost of nearly $1000. This is not acceptable and in my opinion, is a serious accident waiting to happen. I believe it needs to be addressed as a safety issue and a recall issued to have this taken care of.
