It is a very well known issue with these make and model trucks, ( 19-current Silverado 1500,2500,3500) that the eurethane on the back glass and the back glass track/frame cracks and leaks water causing an unsafe environment inside the vehicle if not caught. There is little to no visible evidence this occurs unless you really look and or take apart the headliner and rear spoiler on the cab to search for this issue. Water intrusion into the cab of the vehicle can build mold / mildew and cause a severe health issue for occupants inside the vehicle. Gm has a TSB out on this issue and I believe it should be a recall as there are thousands of trucks out there with this issue risking a respiratory issue to those inside the vehicle.

I was driving to an event and I noticed my truck was pulling slightly. As I pulled onto the freeway and accelerated, I felt and heard a thumping sound but could not distinguish it between the pattern in the freeway or an issue with a tire. I continued to accelerate and the tire blew at about 55 mph. I was pulling a 5th wheel in a construction zone and was not immediately able to safely pull off the roadway. Extensive damage was done to the body of the truck with a current estimate at $4,832.18. The rim and tire were also destroyed with the rim being valued at $841.08 and tire at $408.

The tailgate, repeatedly came open on the freeway at freeway speeds, towing a trailer, the tailgate came down on top of the trailer mechanism causing damage to the tail gate as well as the tailgate trim. There was no way to secure tailgate and keep it from opening intermittently. Once I could I took it to the dealership and they acknowledged that the switch was malfunctioning as witnessed by a cell phone video that I took of it malfunctioning and attempting to unlock and open while parked. The dealership acknowledged that there was a recall to be issued and for the time being cut the wire to allow the tailgate to be opened by the hand switch and is only able to open by the remote.
