| Bought 2500 hd crew cab silverado, 2008. researched known problems online with door actuators. apparently they begin to fail with less than 5000 miles on certain trucks. i see this as a safety hazard and a security problem. in case of a crash the locks on the rear doors will not work and must be unlocked manually which may be impossible depending on the damage, the manual locks are on the farthest point back from the driver which makes them very hard to reach from the front of the truck. they also do not lock when the key fob or electric lock button is pushed in the truck, must be locked manually. this problem is extremely well known and gm refuses to recall this item even though it is a clear safety risk. if i have a fire or an accident i would not be able to get my daughter out of the back of the truck and gm would be getting one hell of a lawsuit. likewise if anything gets stolen out of my truck due to the locks not working i will also be starting a lawsuit against gm. every manufacturer wants to get ever penny they can out of people without taking responsibility for hiring the lowest bidder for crucial parts on their vehicles and then refuses to stand behind them. some people i have talked to have replaced these door actuators 4+ times all the way around their vehicle. unacceptable. | |||
