I was driving my 2006 chevy Silverado 1500, 4-door. I had my wife and two children in the truck. When we got to our destination, my daughter could not open her door (rear driver side door). I confirmed the doors were unlocked by using the automatic lock/unlock feature I have on the drivers door. I tried to open the door from the outside, but it would not work. I tried to manually unlock the door from the inside, but the door would still not open. I brought it to the dealership and they told me the electronic latch had to be replaced. The dealership also told me they have had a number of problems with the latches which prevented the door from opening. This is obviously a safety issue.

Doors do not lock/unlock when alarming or unalarming truck. It occurs daily and not sure how long this has been going on. I happened to get out of my truck and open the back door which would not open. With further investigation, I realized that the lock was not working properly. I wonder how many other owners of this vehicle have no idea that this is happening? I have alarmed my vehicle, then checked the back door to see if it locked with the alarm going off, because the lock had failed! I wonder how many people actually check to see if their truck locked and alarmed properly. I checked with the dealership and it'll cost $100 for them to just look at it because it is past the 3 yr. Warranty. I think this is unfair.

Driver side door lock has failed. It would appear to be the lock actuator this is not only an inconvenience, this is a safety hazard since the door does not lock when the vehicle is being driven. Apparently this is a common problem with the 2008 chevy truck. Only 35000 miles on the vehicle.

Drivers side power lock wont electrically lock with the door switch or key fob. See countless complaints online about this problem. Sometimes lock actuates only halfway, and when engine shut off and placed in park or placed in park with engine still running cannot open door without manually actuating it.

Automatici locking door actuator failure on drivers side rear door and passenger side front door. Dealer refuses to replace because vehicle is outside of manufacturer warranty. Obvious safety issue.

Driver and rear passenger locks do not work. This is the 2nd time now that these dont work. First it was the front driver side, now its the same side but rear door. It is annoying not having acces to the doors via keyless entry. It was a one of the reason why I bought a keyless entry for safety reason for women. Also, I have a grandson who rides with me occasionally, and if emergency occurred, I fear he could be trapped as I would have to insert key to unlock driver door or worse. The rear door has no way to insert any key into door. How do you expect me to save my child if I can't even open it. I have to lower my driver side seat back and reach far back to where locks were placed and manually unlock the back door. Recall all trucks back and replace locks in them. This is a serious issue with safety and children safety!!!! this would make 3 locks. One when new purchase vehicle, 2 replaced by dealer and now 3rd its broken again!!!!.

1999 chevy silverado. On 1/21/11 I pulled the manual release lever to release the driver's side seat and load material into the extended cab of my pickup. A plastic piece with metal components inside the track (quoted from dealer as a seat adjuster) fell out of the right side track. My driver's side seat would not and continues not to lock into place, causing me to have to drive with one foot on the floorboard, and use the other to accelerate and brake continuously. When driven, the seat freely moves forward and backward with centrifugal force. Note: the seatbelt is attached to the seat completely, not anchored to the sidewall and floor of the vehicle, so there is nothing to keep a driver from sliding all the way to the steering wheel if and when this piece fails.

Door lock actuator failures. Failure to unlock but doors lock when placed into drive. Chevrolet will fix problem for around $1,200. In order to open rear doors on truck you must climd over front console or lower windows to manually unlock. This is a problem on every chevy 2008 and above vehicle that I know of.

Approximately 2000-4000 miles after the warranty term (but still well under the 36 month limit) I began to notice my power locks weren't working correctly. When I took my truck in to the dealer, the service rep told me that that was a very common problem. After determining I was over warranty mileage limit, he said all he could do is maybe "help me out" on the repair costs. My main concern is how the manufacturer hasn't been more proactive in correcting this problem since, from what my research has revealed, it is a very common issue. I would think that Chevrolet would be a little more concerned about the safety and security of their customers and vehicles.

I have a 2008 Silverado 1500. Locks and latches does not work on the back driver side of my truck. When inquired about it to the dealer it was said I needed some type of motor.

My remote works for the other three doors but not the passenger door. Anyone can open my truck. I have researched several complaints about this matter I have 45,000 miles on my truck.
