REAR HATCH OF MY 2005 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN FAILED TO OPEN. THERE IS NO DEVICE INSIDE THE VEHICLE TO EFFECT ESCAPE, IF INVOLVED IN A CRASH THAT WOULD AFFECT OPENING OF ANY OF THE FOUR SIDE DOORS, AND QUICK EXIT MANDATORY. I AM A RETIRED JERSEY CITY FIREFIGHTER, AND DID NOT REALIZE THE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET SURBURBAN. THE BACK HATCH WINDOW HAS PLASTIC OR RUBBER HINGES TO HOLD IT TO THE FRAME. THE WINDOW ALSO HAS A BOLT TO HOLD THE PISTON CYLINDERS SO THE WINDOW COULD CLOSE AND OPEN. THE WINDOW FRAME WHERE IT HOLDS THE HINGE BROKE OFF AND NOW THE HINGE OR BOLT THAT HOLDS THE CYLINDERS FOR THE WINDOW IS COMING LOOSE. I HAVE CANNOT OPEN THE WINDOW HATCH IN THE REAR OR IT WILL NOT CLOSE. I BOUGHT THE SUBURBAN BRAND NEW AND I DON'T THING THIS SHOULD BE HAPPENING IN FOUR YEARS. *TR
