Consumer Description

2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE TAIL GATE WILL NOT OPEN. THE KEY FOB IS THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK IT-THERE IS NO KEY LOCK ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TAILGATE, AND TO MY UTTER SHOCK---NO INTERIOR LATCH TO UNLOCK THE TAILGATE FROM THE INSIDE. THERE IS ALSO ABSOLUTELY NO WAY TO UNLOCK THE WINDOW SEPARATELY FROM THE TAIL GATE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS IDENTICAL ISSUE-AND AM ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE-A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY--BEFORE SOMEONE BECOMES TRAPPED IN A CAR ACCIDENT OR VEHICLE FIRE. VERY DISAPPOINTED CHEVROLET HAS DONE NOTHING TO DATE TO SOLVE THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM!! I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS USELESS-AND CHEVROLET NEEDS TO DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO RESOLVE HIS DEFECTIVE AND FAULTY EQUIPMENT---IMMEDIATELY! *TR
