| Description of the problem | After vacating the car through the front driver's side door, the electric door locks on the rear doors did not operate while my grandchildren were in the tahoe. The doors would not unlock either with the fob or the electric switch in the tahoe. This incident was very scary and could have been serious. Fortunately, i was able to reenter the tahoe through driver's door, start the car, lower the rear windows, manually unlock the doors, and remove my grandchildren. Had this been an emergency, serious problems could have occurred. As a result of this problem, which has recurred many times, i am not willing to drive with my grandchildren in the tahoe, unless an adult is available to accompany them in the rear seat. |
