2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ON MY 2008 CHEVY TAHOE HAVE BEEN REPLACED 5 OR 6 TIMES, 2 OR 3 THE FIRST TIME AND 3 MORE THE LAST TIME A FEW WEEKS AGO ALL UNDER WARRANTY. THE TAHOE HAS 33K MILES ON IT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON EVERY DOOR AT LEAST ONCE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY AS SOMETIMES THE DOOR WILL ONLY WORK MANUALLY BY ACTUALLY PULLING UP THE DOOR BUTTON TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OR OUT. IN SOME CASES THE AFFECTED DOOR DOES NOT LOCK WHEN CAR IS PUT IN GEAR WHICH CAN RESULT IN A CHILD OR AN ADULT INADVERTENTLY PULLING ON THE DOOR HANDLE WHILE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE DOOR SWINGING OPEN OR IN AN EMERGENCY NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR WITHOUT HAVING TO ENTER THROUGH ANOTHER DOOR CHEVY DEALER SUGGESTED I GET AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE AFTER 36K MILES IT WILL COST $325 A DOOR TO FIX THE FAULTY ACTUATORS WHEN THEY BREAK AGAIN. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE WITH ANY KIND OF DOOR LOCK ISSUES AND TO HAVE 5 OR 6 PROBLEMS WITHIN 3 YEARS IS A PROBLEM NOT TO MENTION A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS ALIKE. *TR

DOOR LOCKS FAILED TO WORK WITH KEY REMOTE AS WELL AS BUTTONS ON THE DOORS. ENDED UP PAYING $560.00 TO HAVE LOCKS AND LATCHES REPLACED.

PASSENGER LACERATED RIGHT HAND MIDDLE FINGER ON SHARP EDGE OF PEELING CHROME ON THE TOP OF THE RAP DOOR HANDLE. THE REAR DOORS EXHIBIT SOME ROUGHNESS OF THE CHROME OVERLAY INDICATING PROBABLE FAILURE OF THE BONDING ON THESE AS WELL. THE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE WAS REPLACED THE PRIOR WEEK AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. MUST CLIMB OUT OTHER SIDE DOOR. THIS WOULD BE A DEATH TRAP IN AN EMERGENCY. *TR

THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT LOCKS AND ACTUATOR HAVE STARTED TO FAIL ONE BY ONE ON MY 2008 CHEVY TAHOE LT3. THE FIRST WAS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, BUT THE LAST ONE WAS NOT. IT APPEARS THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT GM HAS A PROBLEM WITH, BUT HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE. *TR

2008 CHEVY TAHOE WITH 35,000 MILES. THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE LEFT BACK DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK AUTOMATICALLY ANYMORE. BIG CONCERN SINCE I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK WHO COULD OPEN THE DOORS ON THEIR OWN. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. *TR
