Unknown Or Other problem #1

The rear passenger door does not lock or open with the remote or front drive door switches. Turns out that the lock actuator has gone bad and has to be replaced. My son is 4 years old and due to the fact that we can not lock the door from the front - he opened the rear door while car was driving . Luckly he was in car seat. This could pose a serious problem for parents with young children. While the car was under warranty the same rear passenger door side lock actuator was replaced 3 times. Unfortunately the car is out of warranty and the problem continues for us. Need to have GMC look into this matter. Online there's so many people with the exact same issue. Poses a serious issue for parents with this type of vehicle. Please have GMC recall and investigate this matter before someone truly gets hurt.

Unknown Or Other problem #2

My 2008 Yukon xl on the way home is powered down with several error messages. Traction control off, stable trac off, and engine power reduced. Could not go more then 25 mph. Went to faulkner GMC dealer in trevose, PA next day. Paid $122. 00 to diagnose the problem. It was throttle body failure. Was told that this part is a back order and GMC don't have a manufacturer who's gonna produce this parts for gm. Had to pay another $100. 00 to clean this part and service adviser told me it should less for at least 2 weeks and up to few months. It took me only 2 weeks. Now I can't even get out from my development. Have to restart the engine every stop sign. I am in limousine business and can't stay home and just wait till gm will find a manufacturer. Found out that this is common problem with this vehicles. Should there be a recall on this part?.
