AFTER HAVING TO REPLACE MY CHROME DOOR HANDLE THAT BROKE ON MY BACK LEFT DOOR, THE POWER LOCK IS NOW NOT WORKING ON THE SAME DOOR. MY CHILDREN RIDE IN THIS CAR, AND I TOO AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED THAT THEIR SAFETY IS IN JEOPARDY BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I'M BEYOND DISAPPOINTED THAT MY $55,000 VEHICLE HAS HAD SO MANY ISSUES. PLEASE GM RECALL THIS VEHICLE AND FIX THIS LOCK ISSUE! IT'S NOT SAFE!! *TR
I OWN A 2008 CHEVY SUBURBAN AND TWO OF OUR OUTER DOOR HANDLES CAME OFF UNDER WARRANTY AND THE THIRD RIGHT AFTER NOW THE FOURTH HAS COME LOOSE. JUDGING BY MANY FORUMS FOUND ON GOOGLE THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM. I FIND THIS ALSO TO BE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY PROBLEM SINCE I HAVE LITTLE CHILDREN WHO CANNOT GET OUT THE CAR BY THEMSELVES IN THIS PROBLEM HINDERS THE DOOR FORM OPENING FROM THE OUTSIDE IN AN EMERGENCY THIS COULD BECOME A LIFE-THREATENING DEFECT OF THESE CARS. I REALLY HOPE SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DOORS WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK INDEPENDENTLY WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR REPAIRS BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT EACH COMPONENT HAD ITS OWN MODULAR BUT REPLACING THE MODULAR FOR EACH COMPONENT HAD NOT CORRECTED THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 24,000.
