    Hi this is regarding a defect in the locking systems of particular gm trucks and suvs the fact that the door locks on my tahoe and other similar suvs and trucks can be punched in with a screwdriver and that simulates a key.

    I have a 2004 tahoe with less than 50k miles on it. It has never been wrecked, driven sporadically as the mileage will attest, and the rear window glass has been opened less than half dozen times since it was purchased new. One of the hinges has broken/separated from the top of the lift gate glass, making it difficult to close when it is opened. I have taken it to a local chevy dealer that told me it was a 'common'…
