Consumer Description

75% OF THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS ON THE ABOVE DESCRIBED GMC YUKON, INCLUDING BOTH REAR DOOR LOCKS HAVE FAILED IN THE LOCKED POSITION. THIS FAILURE MAKES IT DIFFICULT/IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOORS - ESPECIALLY THE REAR DOORS. BECAUSE THE CAR HAS ONLY ONE EXTERIOR DOOR LOCK; IN ORDER TO OPEN THE INTERIOR MANUAL REAR DOOR LATCHES IN AN EMERGENCY, ONE MUST TRY TO CLIMB OVER/BETWEEN THE FRONT SEATS (THE HEAD RESTS ARE NO LONGER REMOVABLE) - A STRETCH OF 4'4" FROM THE EDGE OF THE FRONT SEAT TO THE LATCH WHICH IS LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE REAR DOOR. SHOULD ONE ATTEMPT TO ACCESS THESE LOCKS THROUGH THE REAR TAILGATE, IT IS A LONG REACH OF 6' 6" OVER THE THIRD ROW SEATS. IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, THE ABOVE DESCRIBED FAILURE, CAN EASILY TRAP INFANTS AND CHILDREN IN THE BACK OF THE CAR, CREATING AN A SERIOUS HEALTH AND SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR
