POWER DOOR LOCKS ON MY 2008 CHEVY SILVERADO CREW CAB QUIT WORKING ON BOTH DRIVERS SIDE DOORS. I ONLY HAVE 25,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND HAVE NOT RETURNED IT BACK TO THE DEALER YET AS THE PROBLEM JUST STARTED THIS WEEKEND. I HAVE CHECKED THE WEB AND OF COURSE THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURANCE THAT CHEVY HAS TENDED TO SWEEP UNDER THE RUG AND HAD NOT MADE A RECALL FOR THIS. THIS IS A MAJOR INCONVIENCE AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL. I HAVE MY FINGERS CROSSED THAT THE DEALER WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT I HAVE MY DOUBTS. MY 3 YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY RAN OUT IN AUGUST. I PURCHASED A NEW TRUCK TO AVOID THESE TYPES OF AGGRAVATIONS AND NOW REGRETING THAT DECISION. *TR

HAVE LOST OPERABLE OF PASSENGER REAR DOOR LOCK, AND THE OTHER THREE DOORS ON MY CREW CAB SILVERADO HAVE BEGUN TO HAVE THE ISSUES OF NOT LOCKING/UNLOCKING WHEN SET BY SYSTEM OR ON DEMAND BY PERSON DRIVING THE TRUCK. THIS DOESN'T ALLOW FOR THE DOORS TO LOCK/UNLOCK AFTER VEHICLE IS MOVED TO AND FROM THE PARKED POSITION. THIS COULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ALL 4 LOCK ACTUATORS FAILED AND WITH THAT, THE BODY CONTROL MODULE CANNOT PROPERLY WORK THE SECURITY SYSTEM. THE POWER LOCKS INSIDE THE VEHICLE WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND SEEM TO RANDOMLY UNLOCK ONE OF MY DOORS. THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN GEAR DOES NOT WORK. THIS CAUSES MULTIPLE SAFETY RISKS. 1) FAILURE OF AUTO LOCK COULD RESULT IN CARJACKING AND PASSENGER EJECTION DURING A WRECK 2) FAILURE OF SECURITY SYSTEM TO ARM AND ALARM COULD LEAD TO THEFT 3) INTERMITTENT AND RANDOM UNLOCKING OF ONE DOOR WHEN UNEXPECTED RESULTS AN UNSECURED VEHICLE DESPITE DELIBERATE OWNER EFFORT AND EXPECTATION OF SECURITY AND CAN RESULT IN THEFT AND EJECTION4) SINCE ONLY THE DRIVER DOOR HAS A KEY LOCK MECHANISM, I HAVE TO CRAWL THROUGH THE CAB TO UNLOCK BACK DOORS RESULTING IN BODY STRAIN AND INJURY.
