Car Forum / GMC Cars / July 20052002 trailblazer exploding rear hatch
The rear hatch glass on my Traiblazer exploded while sitting in the driveway this afternoon. The glass shattered into a million pieces. Thank God the neighbors kids weren't playing on the side of the house. I was mowing the lawn on the other side of the house and heard the bang. My neighbor was sitting on his porch and saw the whole thing. We couldn't believe it. Has there been a recall on this? Has anyone else had this happen? Of course the dealer's service depatment is closed for the weekend and I'll have to wait until Monday to take it in. I spoke to a sales manager and he said he never heard of this happening. My wife and I were in the damn thing 15 minutes before it happened. Maybe the lawn mover shot a rock out and hit the glass. Did a car full of youth's drive by just as it happened? Possibly one of them had a BB gun or slingshot. Look inside the vehicle for a projectile that might of shattered the glass. ========= Harryface ========= 1991 Pontiac Bonneville LE ~_~_~259,100 miles_~_~~_ > couldn't believe it.

No recall that I can see, there is a service bulletin about the rear glass being hard to close and the fix is something to do with replacing the weather-strip and shimming the handle. Maybe this is related....hard to tell. Have you gotten your letter about the engine sleeves cracking? Perhaps your VIN is not within the breakpoints. Yay for GM quality...now we get to replace a bunch of these 4.2 engines. That ought to be a real moneymaker....not! Ian I have had it happen a couple of times on different vehicles. I would bet money on it being because the interior heated up. It always happens in the hot summer time.

Jus wondering if they found the cause and what was the cure -- sf |
