2009 Chevrolet Suburban 1500

THE DOOR LOCK ON THE DRIVER SIDE SECOND ROW WOULD NOT UNLOCK WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED EITHER BY THE INSIDE UNLOCK MECHANISM OR THE REMOTE CONTROL DOOR UNLOCK BUTTON. HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK IN FROM THE INSIDE WHICH WAS DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF HAVING A CARSEAT BACK THERE. SHOULD THERE HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE WHERE I NEEDED TO GET MY CHILD OUT IN A HURRY, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR DRIVER SIDE DOORS WERE DEFECTIVE AND WOULD ONLY OPEN WHEN PULLING THE LATCH MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,600. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

2009 CHEVY SUBURBAN CURRENTLY HAS 57,000 MILES. STARTING AROUND 30,000 MILES THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS STARTED TO STOP WORKING. NOW THE PASSENGER FRONT, PASSENGER REAR, AND DRIVERS SIDE READ DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK. THEY DO NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WHILE PUSHING THE SWITCH ON DOOR OR USING THE REMOTE. TOOK TO DEALER TODAY AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE COST TO REPAIR WOULD BE $875.00. RESEARCHED THE ITEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING AND FREQUENT PROBLEM OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, YET GM IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN TO THOSE OF US WHO HAVE CHILDREN AS THE DOORS TO DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO AND THEY CAN BE UNLOCKED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I THINK THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE, THE HIGH NUMBER OF REPAIRS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE FOR THIS, THE HIGH COST TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, AND THE SAFETY ISSUE THAT IT CAN CAUSE. *TR
