Electrical Jack Problems of Chevrolet Suburban

Our actuators failed on 3 of my doors of my 2009 chevy Suburban. If you use the remote only the drivers side rear door locks and/or unlocks. If you use the unlock/lock power button only the drivers side rear works. You must use the key to unlock the drivers door and you must either open the window to manually unlock the other doors or reach across the car to unlock the passenger side locks. We contacted gm and they sent us to have a diagnosis done which cost us $99. They estimated the cost to be $900 and told us we were responsible because our warranty ended at 36,000 miles. This is a safety concern. In an accident I wouldn't be able to get to any passengers including my children nor could emergency personnel. I could easily be car jacked or have my belongings stolen due to the locks not working. If my small child choked or had a medical emergency I could not reach them. I watch stories every day on the news of awful people taking or assaulting women by breaking into their cars and hiding in the back seats. This car cost well over $50,000 and this should be a safety recall. There will be a tragedy if this is not fixed.

The plastic jack wing nut that holds the jack stored securley in the interior wheel well twisted off the first time it was used. The jack was therefor unacessible for use. The lug wrench twisted apart when it was used to attempt to loosen the lug nuts. The metal in the lug wrench was very soft.

Problem: unstable & inadequate jack for vehicle. I had a flat on my vehicle and used the factory jack. While pulling the tire off the lugs the vehicle shifted and the jack fell over. Luckily the tire was still within the wheel-well and tire/rim broke the fall. Even though I was on a flat level concrete parking lot, the stability of the jack is poor (very small footprint and top of the ram is also small). Not very much front-back movement causes instability for the jack. In addition, the maximum jack height provided barely enough clearance to put a new tire on (20? factory tires). This would have not been possible on any other surface like the shoulder of a highway. I do admit that I had not properly ?chocked? the tires that allowed for more movement than normal, but the movement that caused the fall was not excessive. I personally rotate my tires on all four of my vehicles frequently using a floor jack and never have had this problem. The factory jack is unsafe and undersized for this large vehicle (suburban). A CO-worker also experienced this same accident with his tahoe while in his garage.
