NHTSA Complaint #10558069 — 2004 GMC ENVOY

SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN A SMOOTH ROAD, NO BUMPS, AND REAR HATCH GLASS SHATTERED. I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE'S ENVOYS. AT FIRST I THOUGHT SOMEBODY SHOT OUT MY WINDOW BECAUSE WHO HAS EVER HEARD OF A WINDOW JUST EXPLODING FOR NO REASON. WELL, APPARENTLY GMC FOUND A WAY TO MAKE WINDOWS, "JUST EXPLODE", AND THEN WEASELS THEIR WAY OUT OF PAYING TO FIX THIS EMBARRASSMENT OF AMERICAN ENGINEERING. FROM WHAT I'VE READ GMC HAS REFUSED ALL CASES COMPENSATION FOR THIS PROBLEM, SO I CAME HERE TO VOICE MY FRUSTRATION BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE $795 TO FIX MY TRUCK. I AM WONDERING IF THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. MY 1999 VW JETTA WAS PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BECAUSE THE GROUND EFFECT TRIM WOULD GET CAUGHT ON PARKING BLOCKS AND CAUSE DAMAGE, BUT THIS WINDOW EXPLODING IS A MUCH MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM. SO I WILL CALL GMC ON JAN.2 WHEN OFFICES OPEN BACK UP, AND DEPENDING ON HOW THAT GOES I MIGHT CALL UP A BUDDY WHO PRACTICES LAW TO SEE WHAT THE CHANCES ARE FOR A CLASS ACTION SUIT. *TR
