| I own a 2008 chevy suburban ltz with 37k miles. the rear door lock actuators failed at 36k miles. the faulty door lock actuators prevent locking or unlocking of the doors from the drivers seat. as i have small children, i feel it is a safety issue to drive with unlocked doors. after researching this issue i discovered the problem to be widespread on a number of chevrolet vehicles. please reference the following internet forum discussions : http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=98284&st=165 http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f206d4b/75#msg75 i suggest the nhtsa look into this issue and mandate a recall and the installation of a more reliable door lock actuator. please let me know how i can be of further assistance in this matter. | |||

| Passenger's side handle of our 08 suburban kept cutting people's hands on exit. finally had dealer replace for $120+. now, about a month later, my side (driver) is doing the same thing. this is obviously a quality/design defect and i don't feel i should have to pay for these repairs when i've found so many online with the same problem. currently i'm typing this with a sliced index finger that hurts like sin. thanks for any help. | |||
