Consumer Description

DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS. THREE OF FOUR DOOR ACTUATORS ARE BROKEN AND LOCKS MUST BE CONTROLLED MANUALLY. GMC WANTED 655.00 TO FIX THE TWO I KNEW WERE BROKEN. GMC IS WELL AWARE OF THE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART. I WAS NOT AWARE THE THIRD LOCK HAD FAILED UNTIL MY SON OPENED A BACK DOOR AND STEPPED INTO TRAFFIC. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION HIS DOOR WAS LOCKED. ALL I COULD DO WAS SCREAM AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS IN AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP HIM FROM GETTING HIT BY TRAFFIC. DOES IT TAKE A DEATH OR SEVERAL DEATHS BEFORE GMC RECALLS THIS DEFECTIVE PART?!!! THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU HAVE A CHILD IN THE CAR AND SHOULD BE LOOKED AT BEFORE AN INJURY OF DEATH OCCUR. *TR
