Problems with 2003 Chevrolet Tahoe VISIBILITY

I have noticed that my rear glass window hinge has popped out of its plastic housing in which it is mounted to vehicle causing it to get twisted around bit like it is going to fall off. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 chevrolet tahoe k1500. the contact stated that the heater failed and would only emit extremely hot air. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where they advised the contact that the blower resister and plug needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered no assistance. the failure mileage was approximately 130,000. updated 05/21/12

Rear glass hinge in 2003 tahoe ripping from hinge. window must now be forced sideways to engage locking mechanism to close rear glass hatch. lifting entire hatch effects the glass hinge as well. rt corner of window now protrudes above roof line and i am concerned this will "catch" during highway speeds and blow off as has been reported previously. local chevy dealership repair facility informed me this is common and they have repaired 2 that week for the same issue. they informed me that their repair statistics do not go up towards chevy corporate for trend and failure analysis. they referred me to the chevy customer service number. chevrolet customer service was called and they conducted a 2 hour investigation to determine hinge defects are normal wear and tear. current costs to repair are approx $1000.00. *tr

Front passenger side vents blow out hot air when heater or a/c is on.. temp was checked and it was higher than 150 degrees... very very hot. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2003 chevrolet tahoe. the contact stated that the rear window detached from the frame. if the glass from the window would have shattered then the sharp fragments of glass could have caused serious injury. the vehicle is being repaired. the failure mileage was 68,000 and the current mileage was 70,000.

Hinge separated from window and caused the rear window to shatter. *tr

On october 20, 2008 at about 11:21am on pali high way town bound there was weed whacking in the center median and i heard a loud noise that sounded like a rock hitting my windshield and i saw a small spiderweb crack on the bottom of my windshield. the crack is about 1" by 1". what steps do i take to fix my windshield and/or get reimbursed for this. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2003 chevrolet tahoe. the contact stated that the roof is leaking and water settles in the passenger side sun visor. when he turns the vehicle, water falls into the rear air conditioner control panel. the dealer replaced the rubber drain tube, but it did not correct the failure. the leak is now causing the sun visor's electrical wires to loosen. the vehicle had to be detailed for the mildew smell. the dealer stated that the control panel will need to be replaced, however, they would not repair the vehicle because the vehicle was previously repaired elsewhere and it is also out of warranty. the current mileage was 54,159 and failure mileage was 600.

There a noticable shaking when it coming to a stop and sometimes it will turn off. it also turns off when making a right / left turn and sometimes even when truck is running. there a click noise then turning. also window's will get stuck and will not go up completely and now the left side windows are completely dead (do not go up or down). *tr

Dt*: the contact stated without warning both passenger side windows became inoperable. the dealership replaced the door module and the windows worked until the vehicle was returned to the residence. at the residence the fuse box began to spark and the windows stopped working. the vehicle was taken back to the dealership and the front window regulator was replaced. again, when the vehicle arrived at the residence the fuse box began to spark and the windows stopped working. the vehicle was taken back to the dealership and a fuse was replaced, but the windows remained inoperable.

Rear seat audio and temperature controls quit working. *jb

Dt: 2003 chevrolet tahoe. the rear window has a plastic hinge that is cracked and is coming off. contacted dealership, and dealership said they knew of the problem , and i would have to pay 50% to have window hinge fixed ,and that this problem went back to the 2000 model vehicles. this plastic hinge kept rear window from closing. contacted the manufacturer. the consumer talked with customer service and did a report, i.d. number was 1367044105. the hinge in rear window has been cracking over the last couple of months. the rear window has to be replaced because it is connected together with otehr items, such as the window, the hinge and the frame.*ak

I own a 2003 chevy tahoe lt, on friday january 21, 2005 the back lift gate window of my tahoe exploded for no apparent reason. i was unsure of what happened since i was driving on a major freeway at the time. houston police department was called since it sounded like a shotgun blast to my window. hpd informed me it appeared to be a malfunction of the window. i took the vehicle to the dealership where i purchased it (norman frede chevrolet) in webster texas. the service manager inspected the window and informed me this was the third tahoe in which the back glass exploded in this manner. i could have had a serious accident, and thank goodness i had no passengers in the back of my vehicle. i feel this is an issue that needs to be investigated if there have been 3 of these incidents at 1 dealership, surely there are others. *nm

Steering wheel feels loose. thumping noise from stering wheel. also loud cracking noise from front suspension when turning in driveway. loud cracking noise from lower front windshield especially at freeway speeds. *ak
