NHTSA Complaint #10574212 — 2008 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE

LEFT REAR POWER DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING AT 38,000 MILES. RIGHT REAR POWER DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING AT 42,000 MILES. RIGHT FRONT POWER DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING AT 53,000 MILES. DRIVER SIDE POWER DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING AT 61,000 MILES. AT THIS TIME IT IS VERY UNSAFE WHEN CHILDREN ARE IN THE BACK SEATS AND THE DOORS LOCK ARE UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. I AM UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE BACK DOORS UNLESS I STOP THE VEHICLE AND CLIMB THROUGH THE TWO FRONT SEATS TO GET TO THE MANUAL LOCKS LOCATED AT THE BACK OF THE DOORS. IF THE VEHICLE IS IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND ANYONE IS NOT AWARE THAT THE POWER LOCKS NO LONGER WORK THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE TRUCK. PREVIOUSLY THE DOORS LOCKED WHEN THE TRUCK STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD AUTOMATICALLY AND NOW IF CHILDREN ARE IN THE TRUCK THEY COULD POSSIBLE FALL OUT OF THE TRUCK IF THE DOORS OPEN WHILE TRUCK IS MOVING.
