Consumer Description

I HAVE TAKEN MY 2008 TAHOE LTZ TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES TO REPAIR THE DOOR LOCKS / OUTER DOOR HANDLES. I HAVE HAD TWO OF THE DOOR LOCKS REPLACED BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT UNLOCK WHEN I HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DOORS OR THE KEY FOB. THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT IN THIS VEHICLE. IT IS A SAFETY CONERN BECAUSE I HAVE A SMALL CHILD AND I AM AFRAID IF I WERE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND I TRY TO UNLOCK THE DOORS THEY WILL FAIL AND I WILL BE UNABLE TO GET MY CHILD OUT WITHOUT CRAWLING OVER THE FRONT SEATS TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE LOCK. THE SAME WITH THE OUTER DOOR HANDLES BREAKING. I HAVE HAD TWO OF THOSE REPLACED. I HAD TO CRAWL OVER THE PASSENGER SEAT AT ONE POINT TO BE ABLE TO GET IN THE VEHICLE UNTIL I COULD GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND SEE THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE ISSUES, YET THERE ARE NO RECALLS. PLEASE HELP US. *TR
