Consumer Description

REAR RIGHT DOOR (REAR PASSENGER) LOCK FAILING TO OPEN. STARTED TO RANDOMLY OPEN AND NOW IT'S TOTALLY DEAD. IF THE DOOR FAILS TO OPEN GETTING MY KID OUT OF THE CAR IN AN EMERGENCY CAN BE IMPOSSIBLE EVEN FOR OTHER PASSENGERS SITTING ON THE BACK. THIS NEEDS AN URGENT INVESTIGATION. A LOT OF OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND SURPRISED TO SEE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS HERE AS WELL REGARDING THE LOCKS/ACTUATORS. GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE ABOUT ACTUATORS FAILING CONSISTENTLY TOO, IN SOME OCCASIONS THEY HAVE MADE THE REPLACEMENTS FREE OF CHARGE OR AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE. *TR
