I WENT TO CLOSE MY HATCHBACK ON MY 2008 TRAILBLAZER YESTER AND AFTER CLOSING THE DOOR A FEW SECONDS LATER THE GLASS EXPLODED. SOME ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AND SOME ON THE OUTSIDE. THE TRUCK WAS PARKED. I NOW HAVE A CUT ON MY FINGER THAT MAY NEED STITCHES. I HEAR THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE OPENED THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND NOTICED CORROSION ON THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE DOOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.
THE LIFTBACK EMBLEM ON THE BACK OF THE CAR AND THE EMBLEM ON THE FRONT BEGAN TO DISINTEGRATE AFTER ABOUT ONE YEAR. I DON'T HAVE ANY REASON IT JUST STARTED. PEOPLE AND MECHANICS HAVE BEEN TELLING ME THAT THEY WERE BAD AND THE REPLACEMENT WAS HIGH. *TR
