AFTER THAT THE TAILGATE WHERE THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT IS, STARTED MAKING NOISES EVERYTIME I OPENED IT, WHEN CHECKED I FOUND THAT THE PART WHERE THE REAR WINDOW IS AFFIXED TO THE TAIL GATE WHERE BROKE AND THE ESCREWS ARE HANGING BY IT SELF WHICH MADE THE REAR WINDOW LOOSE AND STANDING OUT, AND ABOUT A WEEK AGO NOW THAT I HAVE 61K MILES IN 2009 THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT WENT OFF, TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALL ON THOSE LIGHTS AND SO THEY FIXED IT, WHICH WHEN I PICKED UP THE SUV AND DROVE IT WITH THE FAMILY ABOUT 45 MILES TRIP WHEN SUDDENLY IT STARTED BLOWING AIR AND MAKING A STRONG AND DEEP NOISE SOUNDED LIKE A BUS OR 18 WHEELER PASSING BY, WHICH MADE US CANCEL THE TRIP AND GO BACK TO DEALER TO FIND OUT WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO MY CAR, TAKE A GUESS, I WAS TOLD THAT IT'S COMMON ON THOSE CHEVY'S THE FAN CLUTCH TO GO OUT AND THAT IT REALLY LASTED LONG ON MY CAR AND YES IT'S SOMETHING NORMAL THAT HAPPENS, BUT IT COST ME $950.00 TO REPAIR IT YEAH SURE VERY NORMAL, IT SEEMS LIKE GM PARTS AND LABORS NOW ARE COSTING JUST AS THE GERMAN CARS.
