NHTSA Complaint #10575438 — 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500

WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN REAR DOOR, IT WOULD NOT OPEN, DUE TO DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY GOING BAD. ONLY KNOWING THIS IS A PROBLEM AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH. NOW I DO NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN DOOR AT ALL, THE MANUAL SWITCH STILL WORKS, BUT I SYMPATHY FOR THEM THAT DON`T. I CAN JUST IMAGINE IF I HAD TO GET A CHILD OR A HANDICAPPED ADULT FROM THE BACK SEAT IN A HURRY AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FOR ME TO DO SO. I HAVE READ ON SOME OTHER SITES THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND KNOW THE PART IS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE ALSO RESEARCHED ENOUGH TO KNOW THERE IS A NEW PART NUMBER FOR THE OEM PART. SO IF THEY KNOW IT IS JUNK, MAKE IT RIGHT. A HUMANS LIFE OVER A HAND FULL OF MONEY. NOT TOUGH FOR SOMEONE WITH FEELINGS TO MAKE. I HOPE THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION FINDS A WAY TO MAKE THEM TO REPAIR,REPLACE, AND IF SOMEONE HAS PAID TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM, BEFORE IT WAS RECALLED, REIMBURSEMENT. *TR
