The rear seat release cable is faulty and I was unable to get out of the back compartment (after the door hatch was closed). This is hazardous because the third row seating area is back there, and without a means of easy release a passenger might be trapped in an emergency.

I have been seeing commercials about airbags not deploying on Chevy vehicles. My daughter was killed in my 04 Chevy Tahoe where the airbags did not deploy. She was thrown from the vehicle and also another person was in the car as well. Airbags on the drivers or passengers side did not deploy. The truck flipped several times. The drivers seat also lifted up and was split in to. We asked the investigators and our insurance company to check into why the airbags did not deploy and they said it was normal, but we knew otherwise. They did not take any further action.
