Description of the problem	In april 2011, the front passenger door would periodically not lock unless i manually locked it. Eventually it would not lock automatically at any time. A couple of months later the front driver door began doing the same thing. The car was under warranty until august 2011 so we had the locks replaced by a chevrolet dealership in july 2011. I was told this was a known problem. They refused to give me an extended warranty on the new front locks or the rear locks that were not replaced b/c at the time they were working. In february 2012 the rear driver side door will not unlock automatically. About a week later, the rear passenger side door began to occassionally stay locked. I consider this a very concerning safety issue b/c i can not open the door unless i manually unlock the door by either climbing through the other side-if it opens or through the front seat. In the event on an emergency and the door locks fail to unlock, i (or emergency response crews) would be unable to remove my infant son whose car seat is placed in the middle seat or my three year old daughter who is on the passenger side. It is an enormous hassle to climb over car seats or through the front to unlock doors, but more importantly i am very fearful of driving with the kids in the car in case i were unable to remove them from the car if we were in an accident, etc. I called the chevy dealership again and was once again told, it was a known problem and my car was now not under warranty so i would be responsible for payment. I explained i had the front door locks replaced in july and the person i spoke to said "if it is not broken, chevy will not fix it." they have suggested i can request/apply for the gm assistance program. I feel very strongly that because it is a known problem and definitely a safety issue, there should be a recall or they should replace the locks at no cost.
