| Description of the problem | 2006 tahoe rear liftgate will not unlock, nor will window open. It doesn't make any noise. There is no key hole to open manually. My grandchildren often ride in the rear seats, and they would be trapped in a collision. There is no inside handle, either. My sister-in-law has an identical model in which this has also happened. Gm should in our estimation, recall and fix this problem. The most efficient fix would be to have key access to unlock. |
