Description of the problem | Here is what happened regarding the rear sliding-window shattering (and nearly a fire) in my 2016 sierra: on january 1st, 2020, i was driving straight at approximately 30 mph on a smooth, level city street (no potholes or road defects, etc.) in 25-degree weather with my rear-window defroster on when i smelled something burning and looked in mirror and saw smoke and a few seconds later the driver's side glass-panel of my sliding rear-window shattered. There was no ice on window at the time and i had been driving approximately 7 minutes. I know that gm has acknowledged this problem and issued a recall #n192220470 on canadian vehicles, and that there is a major fire hazard. I spoke with anderson chevrolet and grossinger gmc this morning (january 2nd) and was basically dismissed and told to call gm about it, they won't help me. |
