2006 chevy tahoe, 63,000 miles, rear liftgate stuck in locked position. No manual way to open, in the event of an accident/emergency you can not exit from the rear seriously increasing the potential time to exit vehicle. From all the blog posts etc... This appears to be a defect in the locking mechanism itself. The right thing to do would be to identify correction and replace before someone is seriously injured or…

Liftgate unlock quit working at around 63000 miles. There is no manual or key operated way to unlock the liftgate. It failed in the locked position which has the potential to trap someone inside in the event of an emergency. The only way to open was to crawl inside the back end of the vehicle, rip the plastic trim panels off that cover the mechanism, and then move the actuator by hand. When i took to the dealer to…

2006 tahoe rear liftgate will not unlock, nor will window open. It doesn't make any noise. There is no key hole to open manually. My grandchildren often ride in the rear seats, and they would be trapped in a collision. There is no inside handle, either. My sister-in-law has an identical model in which this has also happened. Gm should in our estimation, recall and fix this problem. The most efficient fix would be to…

2006 chevy tahoe rear lift gate or window will not unlock to open. Can not manually open from inside vehicle due to poor engineering. This is a safety hazard in my opinion. Gmc will not accept responsibility for this defect. I searched online and found tons of customers with the same problem in all makes of gm suvs. It is in my opinion this should be a recall safety hazard. *tr
