NHTSA Complaint #10073138 — 2000 CHEVROLET TAHOE

MY REAR WINDSHIELD COLLAPSED INTO PIECES WHEN I OPENED THE CARGO DOOR. THE SHATTERED GLASS FLEW EVERYWHERE AND RESULTED IN MINOR CUTS SCRAPES, AND NOT TO MENTION INCONTROLLABLE TEARS ON MY 6-YR OLD DAUGHTER AND MYSELF. THE SERVICE DEPT. EMPLOYEE STATED SEVERAL VEHICLES HAVE GONE FOR THE SAME REASON. MY PARKING BRAKE IS INOPERABLE AND CAUSED MY VEHICLE NOT TO PASS INSPECTION. MY CO-WORKER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM JUST YESTERDAY AND IT NEEDED ALL OF THE CABLING REPLACED. WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY WE LOST 3 TIRES AND THE MEN AT THE TIRE SHOP TOLD US THAT OUR TRUCK WAS MISSING THE PINIONS ON ALL FOUR WHEELS AND THE DANGERS IT CAUSED. I HAD THEM ADDED TO MY TRUCK AND HAVEN'T HAD A TIRE BUST SINCE. NEVER GOT COMPENSATION. I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR. ITS RIDICULOUS HOW THESE NEW VEHICLES ARE FALLING APART AND NO ONE IS ON OUR SIDE. *NM
