| Description of the problem | The safety issue here is the fact that gm door actuators do not work properly. Gm is not recalling the parts and this has been going on for years. Doors will not lock, or open consistently, and they do not cover the repairs unless you have the original factory warranty or it might be covered on major guard which they don't even offer on my vehicle. The internet is filled with thousands of people with the issue. People can be carjacked, or their vehicles stolen because their door locks won't function. Gm just flat out does not care, and the problem isn't just on the tahoe & suburban lines. Here are just a few links out there on this issue. Http://townhall-talk. Edmunds. Com/webx? 14@@. F206d4b/0 http://www. Chevymalibuforum. Com/forums/showthread. Php? T=7950 and here's someone who appears to have a fix, get rid of the cheap chinese parts. Http://www. Greenhybrid. Com/discuss/f69/tahoe-door-lock-actuator-problem-solution-27064/ the fact that this business practice is allowed to continue seems absurd. This part needs to be fixed and a recall issued. At a minimum it should be covered by gm for all failures on all vehicles. |
