THE VEHICLE IS A 2008 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCKED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO DRIVE. ONCE I HAD ARRIVED AT THE DESTINATION THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AS A RESULT. I ATTEMPTED TO USE THE ELECTRONIC LOCK TO RE-LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOOR AND THIS HAD NO SUCCESS. ATTEMPTED ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPENING THE DOOR WITH THE OUTSIDE LATCH WHICH ALSO HAD NO SUCCESS. TRIED MANUALLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOOR AND NOTHING APPEARS TO ALLOW THIS DOOR TO BE OPENED USING THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE DOOR LATCHES. I HAD TO EXIT THE VEHICLE USING THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WHICH OPENED AS IT SHOULD. NEITHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE DOOR LATCHES FUNCTIONED. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND THIS SHOULD BE PUT ON A RECALL LIST AND THE RESOLUTION SHOULD BE PROVIDED AT NO COST TO THE OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

MY 2008 GMC SIERRA HAS HAD THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS FAIL ON THREE OF THE FOUR DOORS. THE FIRST OCCURRED AFTER ABOUT 36,000 MILES AND THE MOST RECENT OCCURRED TODAY AT ABOUT 64,700 MLES. THE FIRST REPAIR COST OVER $300. I HAVE BEEN HESITANT TO HAVE THE OTHER TWO DOORS REPAIRED BECAUSE OF COST, BUT SAFETY IS A CONCERN. THE TWO REAR DOORS NOW WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN DRIVE, PRESENTING A HAZARD ESPECIALLY WHEN TRANPORTING CHILDREN. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. SHOOULDN'T GM ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM? *TR
