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

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, SUSPENSION
DT: CONSUMER SAYS THAT ABS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. WHEN THE CONSUMER APPLIES THE BRAKES, HE SAYS THAT THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT. CONSUMER WENT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IF HE CONTINUES TO DRIVE VEHICLE, IT WILL EVENTUALLY LOCK UP. CONSUMER ASKED ABOUT A RECALL AND DEALER SAID THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF RECALL IN THE NORTH PART OF THE NATION, BUT HIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED. CONSUMER WANTS HIS VEHICLE TO BE INCLUDE IN THE RECALL TO GET IT FIXED. CONSUMER WANTS TO REIMBURSED IN FULL FOR COSTS OF FIXING PROBLEM.*AK *JB

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)
