POWER DOOR LOCKS ON MY 2008 CHEVY SILVERADO CREW CAB QUIT WORKING ON BOTH DRIVERS SIDE DOORS. I ONLY HAVE 25,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND HAVE NOT RETURNED IT BACK TO THE DEALER YET AS THE PROBLEM JUST STARTED THIS WEEKEND. I HAVE CHECKED THE WEB AND OF COURSE THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURANCE THAT CHEVY HAS TENDED TO SWEEP UNDER THE RUG AND HAD NOT MADE A RECALL FOR THIS. THIS IS A MAJOR INCONVIENCE AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL. I HAVE MY FINGERS CROSSED THAT THE DEALER WILL FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT I HAVE MY DOUBTS. MY 3 YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY RAN OUT IN AUGUST. I PURCHASED A NEW TRUCK TO AVOID THESE TYPES OF AGGRAVATIONS AND NOW REGRETING THAT DECISION. *TR

HAVE LOST OPERABLE OF PASSENGER REAR DOOR LOCK, AND THE OTHER THREE DOORS ON MY CREW CAB SILVERADO HAVE BEGUN TO HAVE THE ISSUES OF NOT LOCKING/UNLOCKING WHEN SET BY SYSTEM OR ON DEMAND BY PERSON DRIVING THE TRUCK. THIS DOESN'T ALLOW FOR THE DOORS TO LOCK/UNLOCK AFTER VEHICLE IS MOVED TO AND FROM THE PARKED POSITION. THIS COULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
