TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, ALL FOUR LOCKS ON THE VEHICLE LOCKED AND UNLOCKED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURES RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ALL FOUR DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK BY PRESSING THE LOCK BUTTON ON EITHER FRONT DOORS OR BY USING THE REMOTE WHEN STOPPED. IT SCARES ME AS A PARENT OF A SEVEN YEAR OLD THAT THE DOORS MAY NOT LOCK WHEN NEEDED AND MY CHILD COULD ACCIDENTALLY OPEN THE DOOR WHEN DRIVING ANYWHERE AT ANY SPEED. FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME BECAUSE IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT WHAT IF THE DOORS COULDN'T UNLOCK BY BUTTON OR MANUALLY OR LOCK TO KEEP PASSENGERS IN WHILE DRIVING. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BY GM AND AN ACTION TAKEN INTO AFFECT TO CORRECT THIS FAULTY ISSUE OR PARTS. *TR

MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LOCK/UNLOCK. HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. THE DOOR CAN BE OPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING 70 MPH. THIS IS ALSO A SECURITY ISSUE. I CAN LOCK THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB ONLY TO LEARN THAT THE REAR DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. IF I LOCK IT MANUALLY, THEN IT WILL NOT OPEN WITH THE KEY FOB. THIS IS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE, I HAVE TO UNLOCK IT MANUALLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!!! *TR
