| Description of the problem | We purchased our 2005 tahoe brand new and have kept up with regular maintenance and it has been a great, safe car. For christmas we were out of town visiting family and when we arrived to unload the car, we discovered the lift gate and the glass were stuck in the lock position. We could not get either open to load|unload our luggage and|or gifts. There is no manual key hole in the button, which i find odd that some models of the same year has them and some don? T. I am concerned that since i have a 3rd row of seats, and in my eyes with passengers in the back ? They cannot get out if there is an emergency. To me, a recall should be issued for the safety of the individuals who ride in the vehicle and gm should take ownership regardless of warranty or not. |
