| Description of the problem | The electronic door locks on all 4 doors do not function on a 2008 chevy tahoe. There are hundreds of complaints exactly like mine concerning the door locks, yet no recall has been initiated. Is it going to take not being able to unlock the rear doors to save a drowning kid before something is done? I have talked to a chevy technician and they are well aware of the faultiness of the actuators in the doors, but still quote me $1200 to fix all four locks. |
