2006 Chevrolet Tahoe STRUCTURE,LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

2006 CHEVY TAHOE EXIT DOOR FOR 3RD ROW SEATING HAS NO MANUAL EMERGENCY EXIT AND ALSO HAS BECOME LOCKED AND WILL NOT OPEN. REPAIR EST. AT 600+ DOLLARS BUT STILL WILL NOT PROVIDE EMERGENCY MANUAL EXIT THROUGH THIS LIFTGATE OR WINDOW BEHIND 3RD ROW SEAT. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN OR DISABLED NEEDING OUT INCASE OF EMERGENCY. ADA SHOULD REVIEW THIS PROBLEM FOR DISABLED NEEDING EQUIPMENT AND ACCESS THROUGH THIS DOOR! *TR

2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE HATCHBACK & LIFTGATE WON'T OPEN. *TR

2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE W/ 3RD ROW SEATING. THE LIFTGATE LOCK FAILED WITHOUT ANY INDICATION THAT IT WAS GOING OUT. THIS IS VERY FEARFUL FOR OUR FAMILY FOR WHICH WE HAVE SMALL CHILDREN WHO MAY BECOME TRAPPED AND UNABLE TO ESCAPE THIS VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I READ 11 COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THIS SAME MATTER. CHEVROLET ARE AWARE THAT THESE COMPLAINTS ARE OUT THERE AND KNOW THE RISK IN WHICH ARE INVOLVED. WHY SHOULD THEY WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR A DEATH OCCURS DUE TO A DEFECT ON THEIR END. I WOULD HATE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TO ANYONE AND I HOPE THAT YOU ALL CAN LOOK INTO THIS. NOT TO MENTION THAT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE A KEY ENTRY TO UNLOCK IT AS WELL. PLEASE LOOK INTO RECALLING WHAT OTHERS HAVE IDENTIFIED AS THE ACTUATOR. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

2006 TAHOE REAR LIFTGATE WILL NOT UNLOCK, NOR WILL WINDOW OPEN. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY NOISE. THERE IS NO KEY HOLE TO OPEN MANUALLY. MY GRANDCHILDREN OFTEN RIDE IN THE REAR SEATS, AND THEY WOULD BE TRAPPED IN A COLLISION. THERE IS NO INSIDE HANDLE, EITHER. MY SISTER-IN-LAW HAS AN IDENTICAL MODEL IN WHICH THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED. GM SHOULD IN OUR ESTIMATION, RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE MOST EFFICIENT FIX WOULD BE TO HAVE KEY ACCESS TO UNLOCK. *TR

2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE LIFTGATE LOCK ACTUATOR QUIT WORKING AT AROUND 67000 MILES. THERE IS NO MANUAL OR KEY OPERATED WAY TO UNLOCK THE LIFTGATE. IT FAILED IN THE LOCKED POSITION WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO TRAP SOMEONE INSIDE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN WAS TO CRAWL INSIDE THE BACK END OF THE VEHICLE, RIP THE PLASTIC TRIM PANELS OFF THAT COVER THE MECHANISM, AND THEN MOVE THE ACTUATOR BY HAND. WHEN I TOOK TO THE DEALER TO CHECK OUT HE WANTED OVER $500 TO REPLACE THE LOCK ACTUATOR. I READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR
