| Description of the problem | Both back doors on my tahoe began to stop unlocking and locking when using the clicker. A month later they stopped locking and unlocking using the unlock/lock button inside the vehicle. At the time i had a two month old who i was having to carry through the driver's side door and crawl through to the back to put him in his car seat. I asked the chevrolet dealership about this & i was told it would cost me around $600 per door. By that time, my front passenger door had also stopped working. I do not understand how this is not a recall. What if there were a fire and i could not get to my children? Or heaven forbid i get into an accident and i can't unlock the vehicle to get to my kids. I have done plenty of research on this matter and it seems as if thousands of people are having this issue. Chevrolet has always been our vehicle of choice. I will never buy another chevrolet vehicle after this. My husband was just looking at buying one of the 2014 trucks and i forbid him to do so. |
