| Description of the problem | I have taken my 2008 tahoe ltz to the gmc dealership multiple times to repair the door locks / outer door handles. I have had two of the door locks replaced because they will not unlock when i hit the unlock button on the doors or the key fob. This is a major defect in this vehicle. It is a safety conern because i have a small child and i am afraid if i were to have an accident and i try to unlock the doors they will fail and i will be unable to get my child out without crawling over the front seats to manually unlock the lock. The same with the outer door handles breaking. I have had two of those replaced. I had to crawl over the passenger seat at one point to be able to get in the vehicle until i could get it to the dealership. I have searched the internet and see there are several complaints about these issues, yet there are no recalls. Please help us. |
