THE LIFTGATE GLASS HINGE HAS SEPARATED FROM THE MOLDING CAUSING THE LIFTGATE GLASS WINDOW TO BECOME UNSAFE SINCE IT IS NOW HELD ONTO THE CAR BY ONLY ONE RUBBER HINGE BRACKET. THE GLASS IN THE LIFTGATE WILL NOT CLOSE AND COULD BECOME SEPARATED FROM THE CAR WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY TO CARS FOLLOWING MY CAR. THE LOCAL DEALER STATED THAT HE HAD SEEN THE PROBLEM BEFORE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL AND MY ONLY RECOURSE WAS TO PURCHASE A NEW REAR LIFTGATE WINDOW AT A COST OF NEARLY $1000. I AM NOW ON RECORD AS HAVING STATED IN WRITING THAT, IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION AND THIS MANUFACTURE DEFECT COULD CAUSE THE REAR GLASS TO BECOME SEPARATED FROM THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ODOMETER ON MY CAR READS 40,000 MILES. *TR

THE REAR HATCH GLASS IS MOUNTED TO THE BODY BY A RUBBER HINGE ATTACHMENT PROCESS, THE BONDING FAILED WHICH ALLOWED THE REAR HATCH GLASS TO FALL OFF OF THE BODY HITTING ME IN THE PROCESS. THIS CAUSES A DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT COULD HARM ANOTHER MOTORIST IF THE GLASS FALLS OFF WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IT IS A VERY COMMON FAILURE THAT IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. *TR
