Electrical System problem #1

I have a 2010 chevy 2500 hd when I put the car I park it sounds like the doors unlock but they dont it started on my drivers door now its happening on passanger door. I've tried to unlock manually it wont work I've unlocking from the remote and the door lock switches on both doors it takes multiple times with both and then able to get out. This is a major saftey issue !!!!. I only have 27000 miles on it now and its out of warranty I tried to get into my truck with remote and key it took multiple times to get into also. . . I have a friend with a 2010 denali he's having the same problems I could see if the truck was over tens years old and over 150000 miles having problems but this isn't right. . . I take my grand kids all the time I'm scared to take them in case I have to get them out in an emergency and needed to get out fast that I wouldn't be able too or for that matter just myself driving alone!!!.

Horn Assembly problem #2

Check engine warning light came on then immediately lost all engine power completely stalled), electrical (except headlights), power steering, power brakes. Engine would not restart after vehicle stopped (went into walk home mode), not even the horn would work! after about 20 minutes, the engine would restart and I could drive home, but with the check engine light on. I took the truck to the dealership the next day. The reprogrammed the main computer. After a few days, it happened again! took the truck back to the dealer. They said they would need to order a new computer, they reprogrammed the defective computer again and said they would call when the new one was in. The same condition repeated itself a few more times before the new computer came in and they replaced it. No problems since. I consider loosing all power in a turn onto an interstate rather dangerous! the dealership confided my experience was not at all unusual with these vehicles.
