NHTSA Complaint #10340832 — 2006 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT

THE GLUE THAT HOLDS THE REAR WINDOW ON THE VEHICLE SEPARATES FROM THE WINDOW, CAUSING THE WINDOW TO BLOW OUT. WE NOTICED THE WINDOW WAS LOPSIDED SO WE OPENED IT AND FOUND THAT ONE SIDE OF THE WINDOW HAD COME UNGLUED. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE REGLUED - IT WOULD HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. CHEVY WON'T COVER IT BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. WE LEFT AND HE CALLED US WITH THE QUOTE OF $1000 FOR REPLACEMENT. JUST A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE ENTIRE WINDOW BLEW OUT. IT SHATTERED GLASS ALL OVER THE ROAD AND VEHICLE, EVEN HITTING US IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. LUCKILY OUR DAUGHTER WAS NOT IN THE CAR. THE PLASTIC COVER THAT SITS OVER THE TOP OF THE WINDOW FLEW OFF THE BACK AND INTO TRAFFIC. THERE WAS A CAR BEHIND US BUT THERE WASN'T MUCH TRAFFIC SO THEY MANAGED TO AVOID BEING HIT. NO ONE WAS HURT WHEN IT EXPLODED BUT IT COULD VERY EASILY HAVE HURT SOMEONE IN THE BACK SEAT OR IN VEHICLES BEHIND US. *TR
