| I have a 4 door 2008 chev siverado 1500 and my third power door lock actuator has failed within 1 year. i have 24000 miles on vehicle. a google search indicates this is a problem with this vehicle. i consider this to be a safety issue since the door locks do not lock the doors when in drive. passengers can open the door while vehicle is in motion. there is no doubt in my mind that this is a part defect and should be listed as a safety recall. i would appreciate it if you can look into this matter immediately. thank you! | |||

| I own a 2008 silverado that i bought new before the bailout and everything at chevy was being given away. my problem is intermittent and seems to fix itself, i have had the a/c not work abs lights flash,power door locks fluctuate and all that while driving. when it is parked i will unlock it using the key fob everything will light up truck will unlock get put key in the ignition to start and everything will shut off. it is as if someone took out the battery, i have no horn no 4ways no power of any kind. now it does not do this all the time but is happening more frequently. last time i took it to the dealer the tech told me it fixed itself he dont know what he did,but told me to get rid of it as soon as possible. that was while it was under warranty now it will cost me a small fortune for them to tell to get rid of it. | |||

| Prelude to this event, involving my 2008 chevrolet silverado 1500 (approx 16,200 miles), was the warranty replacement for the failure of all 4 power door lock actuators. the actuators failed one at a time and each time an actuator would fail, the vehicle would shock the driver when touching the metal door while exiting the vehicle. the last actuator was replaced by the dealership on september 18th, 2009. on september 19th, 2009, after engaging my vehicle into reverse gear, the dashboard electrical went dead. gauges went dark and radio began to blink. within 5-10 seconds, smell of burning electrical came into the cab of the vehicle. i popped the hood and my passenger immediately identified a fire near the transmission on the passenger side. the fire was extinguished before engulfing the vehicle. after inspection, we found a shorted out wire near the starter and a broken transmission cooling line. the cause of both anomalies is unknown at this point. vehicle is at the dealership that the vehicle was purchased from. this occurred under normal conditions on an improved driving surface. *tr | |||
