NHTSA Complaint #10625735 — 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500

REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK DOES NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK ON 2009 CHEVY SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVEING THE GRAND KIDS TO SCHOOL THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR OPENED WHILE GOING AROUND A CORNER. THE GRANDSON DID ADMIT THAT HE HAD HIS HAND ON DOOR HANDLE. COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE DOOR LOCK HAS FAILED ON THIS DOOR. WE ARE LUCKY THAT WE INFORNCE THE SEATBELT RULES OR THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A REAL ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED GM AND HAD THE VECHILE LOOKED AT. THE DOOR LOCK MOTOR HAS FAILED AND THE DELAER TOLD ME THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE CHANGED 100'S OF THEM. I CONTACTED GM AND OPENED A CASE BUT GM SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. ANOTHER LOCK HAS FAILED AND AGAIN GM WILL NOT ADMIT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR LOCKS. I SEE THAT THERE ARE 1000'S OF POSTS ON THE WEB ABOUT FAILED DOOR LOCKS ON THIS YEAR VECHICLE.
