Internal NHTSA #	10532169

Model Year	2008

Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Rear passenger door electric lock actuator failed resulting in no way to open the door without manually unlocking it from the inside. In the even of an emergency, there would be no way to open the door from outside of the vehicle or from the lock switch on the driver door. In addition, there is no key lock on this door from the outside. I have learned that this is a very common problem on 2008 chevrolets, which has cost consumers a huge amount of money in addition to subjecting them to serious safety concerns. I was the victim of a theft when a passenger did not manually lock the door and several days later when i was parked in a parking garage someone entered my vehicle and stole personal property. This would not have occurred if the lock actuator had functioned properly and locked the door when i locked the others. To date, chevrolet has acknowledged this issue but refused to do anything to correct it without an approximate charge of $300 - $400 per door.
