DURING THE RECENT HIGH TEMPERATURE WEATHER WE HAVE THIS WEEK, THE REAR GLASS HINGE OF OUR TAHOE SEPARATED AWAY FROM THE WINDOW. THE HINGE THAT SECURES THE GLASS TO THE HATCH BROKE AWAY FROM THE GLASS. WE ARE AFRAID THAT THE WINDOW COULD SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE IT'S IN MOTION. WE VERY RARELY USE THE REAR WINDOW SO IT'S DISTURBING THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN AND COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL WERE AND TEAR. *NM

Across model years
Worst on record: 2002Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
