Rear window is leaking and allowing water to enter into cab of vehicle. Dealership has examined vehicle and determined that there is a crack in the frame that holds the window in place. This is a common problem in these vehicles. The back plastic frame cracks around the windshield, causing the leak, the only solution was to replace the rear windshield, consumer is requesting reimbursement.

Rear swing-out windows on extended cap do not seal causing excessive and annoying wind noise at moderate speeds. Dealer replaced window latches. Problem still exists. I'm on a first name basis with the mechanics who work on this truck every other week. This is absolutely the worst vehicle I have ever owned and I will never purchase another GM product!
