The electronic door locks on all 4 doors do not function on a 2008 chevy tahoe. There are hundreds of complaints exactly like mine concerning the door locks, yet no recall has been initiated. Is it going to take not being able to unlock the rear doors to save a drowning kid before something is done? I have talked to a chevy technician and they are well aware of the faultiness of the actuators in the doors, but still…

A few years ago all three door locks went at the same time on my 2008 tahoe. I told my dealer this seems very unusual. Asked if there is a recall and he shrugged his shoulders. I am not sure of the exact date other than to tell you it was a few years ago. A few months ago left blinker wont work. Took to dealer again. Said to bring it back as they needed more time to work on it and think i needed an entire new fuse…

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

The power door locks work intermittently in my 2008 chevy tahoe. I have had the rear driver's side door looked at in the past at my local chevy dealer, and they were unable to find a problem. Recently my drivers side door will not lock or unlock using the key fob. The alarm is set and all other doors lock, except the driver's side door. I do not know how long this has been happening, as i usually trust that the door…

On my 2008 chevy tahoe, the door lock actuator has been replaced 3 times, twice under warranty and once out of warranty. This has occurred on different doors, and currently the driver's door is not working. So this will be the 4th time to have one replaced and the vehicle only has 50k miles. This is a huge safety concern, and should be recalled immediately. We have an infant that rides in the back seat, and if the…

A few months ago, the drivers side door wouldn't unlock. If manually pulled up, wouldn't lock. Chevrolet fixed the problem. Now, a few months later, my other 3 doors are all the sudden not unlocking. If manually pulled up will not lock. Chevrolet says its the actuators(?) door locks. I have to wait a few days until they can squeeze the truck in to replace all three... *tr

Power door lock actuating unit failure. Two months ago i was unable to enter my drivers door when it would not unlock with the remote control. I unlocked it with the key and tested the lock mechanics and discovered that the door would neither lock or unlock electronically. Gm replaced the door lock actuator to fix the problem. Last week the passenger rear door lock failed in the same manner. Gm once again replaced a…

I just purchased a used 2008 chevrolet tahoe in june 2010. As of november 2010, 3 out of the 4 automatic door locks do not work. I am very upset about this and wanted to know what can be done because the estimated cost of repair is $250 per door lock. For a 30,000 dollar vehicle, i think this is a little ridiculous. I am not the only person that i know that has had this problem either. *tr

2008 chevy tahoe ltz (50000 miles). My drivers side door does not unlock/lock with my keyless remote. All of the other doors work. I have 7 co-workers with 2008 tahoe's and they all have the same problem on various levels. I locked my doors with my remote and walked into to a diner to eat and looked out of the window and saw someone just open my door and run off with my shopping bag. The drivers door was the only…

Automatic door locks began to intermittently malfunction about four months ago. Now happening on a continual basis. Rear doors will not unlock or lock with either key fob or door control. Definitely a safety issue since doors can not be locked or unlocked in case of an emergency. Told it's the actuators with a approx cost of $300.00 to replace. *tr
