MY WIFE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CLOSING THE REAR HATCH ON OUR 2003 ENVOY XL (80,000 MILES) AFTER REMOVING SOME ARTICLES FROM THE BACK. SHE HAD MOVED THE DOOR ABOUT 1-2 INCHES DOWNWARD USING THE MOLDED HANDLE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE LIFT GATE TO CLOSE THE DOOR WHEN THE REAR GLASS SHATTERED OVER HER HEAD. LUCKILY SHE WAS NOT INJURED BUT WAS COVERED IN SAFETY GLASS. THE GLASS WAS NOT DAMAGED YESTERDAY WHEN I DROVE THE VEHICLE AND UNLOADED SUITCASES FROM THE REAR.

GMC IS ADMITTING TO A FAULTY GAS TANK AND ONLY COVERS THIS UP TO 150,000 MILES I BOUGHT THE CAR AFTER THE 150,000 MILES AND NOW HAVE GAS LEAKING THE TANK WAS NEVER FIXED. WHY DOES THE MILEAGE MAKE A DIFFERENCE? THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT GMC SHOULD COVER REGARDLESS OF THE MILEAGE. JUST BECAUSE MY GAS TANK DID NOT LEAK AS SOON AS OTHER ONES DID MEANS I SHOULD NOT BE COVERED? A RECALL IS A RECALL AND THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
