Having Tailgate issues possibly.

My right strut makes a groan when you open the hatch...especially if it is real cold.....seems to go away if I have to open and close it a few times within a couple of hours
Bad strut or needs lube?

Well thanks for all the input. I think I will try a little lube on the struts. Ours is an 08 so there may be some kind of pattern. I'll lube them up and see what happens.
The only reason for the concern is that the car is only a month or two old. If lube doesn't fix it that the warrenty will. Thanks all

I can say with certainty that it is the struts. My 07 was doing the same thing and after a few visits to the dealer I finally convinced them to replace the lift struts. Problem solved! The weird thing was that I had to drive the car before it would do it and then it would only do it the first time that I opened the hatch. so it made the problem hard to duplicate.

My 08 does this as well. Great to know its not an isolated incident. The service mgr at Bellavia Chevy was very rude when I asked about upgrades like fog lights, radio controls etc. Will any Chevy dealer handle the struts? I'd rather not deal with an unpleasant individual.

If it still does it in warmer weather, it's going to the dealer.
