| Description of the problem | The lock on the rear, driver side door does not work properly. It will not lock or unlock with the key fob. This is a known problem and gm refuses to cover the repairs unless the vehicle is under warranty. This is a safety issue. My son is in a car seat and is not able to unlock the door himself. There are multiple threads online of people all complaining about the same problem. It's an expensive repair. Shame on gm for not covering this when it is clearly a manufacturing defect!!! |
