NHTSA Complaint #10473261 — 2009 GMC SIERRA 2500

I HAVE A 2009 GMC SIERRA 2500 WITH 39,200 MILES. MY DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR QUIT WORKING, SO MY DOOR NO LONGER AUTOMATICALLY LOCKS AND UNLOCKS WHICH I CONSIDER TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD. I NOTED ON-LINE THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN GMC TRUCKS, TAHOES, AND SUBURBANS - AND I EVEN HAVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HAVE HAD THE VERY SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR GM TRUCKS. BECAUSE THIS IS SO VERY COMMON, AND TO ME IS A SAFETY ISSUE, IT SEEMS LIKE GM SHOULD BE ADDRESSING THIS. I INQUIRED WITH THE DEALER, AND THE COST FOR A SINGLE DOOR LOCK IS WELL OVER $200. BASED ON WHAT I'VE BEEN READING, I CAN EXPECT THE REMAINING LOCKS TO GO OUT OVER TIME. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT NHTSA LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS I BELIEVE IT IS AFFECTING MANY OTHERS AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
