NHTSA Complaint #701522 — 1996 CHEVROLET BLAZER

IN NOVEMBER, I NOTICED AN INCREASE IN WIND/AIR NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR TAILGATE. UPON INVESTIGATION, I DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR WINDSHIELD IS BEING PULLED AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE; THE HINGE MECHANISM, THAT HOLDS THE GLASS TO THE VEHICLE, HAS FAILED AND THERE IS ABOUT = INCH GAP BETWEEN THE GLASS AND THE WEATHER SEAL. THIS PROBLEM HAS BECOME WORSE WITH CONTINUED DRIVING AND A DEALER HAS DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DO TO " NO FAULT OF MY OWN". CHEVROLET HAS REFUSED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WHICH MAY CAUSE EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER AND/OR THE REAR WINDSHIELD TO BE RIPPED FROM THE VEHICLE.
