SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ANTI LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATED DURING NORMAL STOPPING CONDITIONS. TRUCK DOES NOT STOP AS QUICKLY SINCE BRAKES ARE NOT APPLIED AS NORMALLY THEY WOULD BE. DRY CONDITIONS, NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS. LEADS TO LONGER DISTANCES TO STOP SINCE ANTI-LOCK IS BEING APPLIED WHEN IT IS NOT NECESSARY AND SHOULD NOT BE. CAN SEEM LIKE TRUCK IS NOT GOING TO STOP SINCE THE STOPPING DISTANCE IS LONGER THAN WHAT THE DRIVER IS ACCUSTOMED TO. *NM

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
REAR WINDOW HATCH FRAME BROKE AWAY FROM HINGES ON THE BODY FRAME. WHEN OPENING THE REAR HATCH WINDOW THE HATCH SEPARATED FROM THE BODY ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THE LEFT SIDE BROKE/SEPARATED AS WELL ON ITS OWN. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE IN THIS CONDITION AS THE WINDOW COULD NOW EASILY COMPLETELY BECOME DETACHED FROM THE CAR THUS CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM #1355994572 WHICH IS PENDING RESOLUTION.*JB

SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
MY CHEVY TAHOE WAS BEING DRIVEN BACK FROM WATCHING THE NASCAR RACE IN THE POCONOS PA WHEN DRIVING ALONG INTERSTATE 84 TWO OF THE THIRD ROW PASSENGERS COMPLAINED THAT THEIR SHOULDERS HURT FROM THE SEAT BELTS NOT MOVING. THE SEAT BELTS LOCKED IN PLACE AND ONLY WOULD LOOSEN UP WHEN THE SEAT BELT WAS RELEASED FROM THE CLIP. BEFORE PASSENGER FEMALE GIRLS AGES 12 & 11 USED THE ADJUSTMENT STRAPS IN THE VEHICLE SO THE BELT WOULD SIT PROPERLY ON THEIR SHOULDERS. AFTER STOPPING TO EAT. THE 11 YEAR OLD WAS UNABLE TO STRAP IN AGAIN SINCE THE BELT WOULD NOT EXTEND THE 6 INCHES MORE TO GET IT TO LOCK INTO PLACE. BOTH GIRLS DID RECEIVE BRUISING TO THERE SHOULDER. GM SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SEA BELTS IN THE TAHOE AND REFUSES TO FIX OR REPLACE THE TAHOE/SEAT BELTS.

STRUCTURE
DURING THE RECENT HIGH TEMPERATURE WEATHER WE HAD LAST WEEK, THE MOLDING OF THE REAR HATCH SEPARATED FROM THE WINDOW. THE HINGE THAT SECURES THE GLASS TO THE HATCH TORE FROM THE MOLDING WHICH IS PART OF THE GLASS. WITH THIS TEAR IN THE WINDOW MOLDING, THE WINDOW COULD SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE IT'S IN MOTION. I WOULD GUESS THAT THE TRIM/SEAL WHICH THE HINGE IS PART OF BECOMES TOO SOFT DURING EXTREME HEAT, AND MAKES IT SOFT ENOUGH TO TEAR WHEN THE WINDOW IS OPENED AND CLOSED. VIN: [XXX] GM CLAIMS THAT THIS IS CONSIDERED "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". *NM UPDATED 07/19/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
