Body problem

The driver door will not open using either the inside nor outside electronic button. Yes, there is a lever on the floor and one in the trunk. Both operate a cable to unlatch the door. The door jam release latch fails at an alarming rate. Salvage yards, ebay, amazon etc have run out of the parts forcing a purchase from gm. Corvette forums and youtube videos abound with talk of replacing these at a cost of $400 at the dealer!! being able to reach the trunk release or even the floor release in the event of an accident would often be difficult to impossible. Gm seems to see this as a money making proposition since the 215,125 cars produced with this feature were never fixed. Gm needs to do something about the expensive replacement cost of such a basic safety feature that fails so often.
