WHEN YOU PAY ALMOST 50K FOR A NEW TRUCK AND WITHIN 4 YEARS YOU ARE DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH ONLY ONE DOOR HANDLE THAT IS PATHETIC.

CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2008 car safety problem was reported on Sept 01, 2010.CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 2008, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES . THE DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK AFTER STOPPING & PUTTING IN PARK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER & THEY REPLACED THE ACTUATOR. IT WORKED O.K. FOR A WHILE & TOOK IT BACK & THEY REPLACED THE ACTUATOR AGAIN. IT CONTINUES TO NOT UNLOCK OCCASIONALLY. I FEEL THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OR IF VEHICLE WERE TO CATCH ON FIRE. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET REGARDING THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND SEVERAL INCIDENTS ON THIS TOPIC BUT NOTHING FROM GM. I THINK GM SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM AND FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE PAYS WITH THEIR LIFE.

MY 79 YEAR OLD WIFE BADLY CUT HER FINGER WHILE OPENING THE DOOR OF OUR VEHICLE. THE DOOR HANDLE OF MY VEHICLE IS PLATED IN CHROME. THIS CHROME IS NOW COMING UNDONE, AND IS RAZOR SHARP. TODAY THE LAST OF THE 4 DOOR HANDLES BROKE DUE TO DEFECT ON THE HANDLES THEMSELVES. GM STATES THAT THESE ARE TRIM AND NOT CONSIDERED MECHANICAL (EVEN THOUGH THEY PERFORM A MECHANICAL FUNCTION) SO THEY AREN'T RECALLING THEM EVEN THOUGH THIS ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF A VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE PASSENGERS INSIDE ARE UNCONSCIOUS OR UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR THEMSELVES DUE TO INJURY , THE DOOR HANDLES COULD BREAK AS A FIREFIGHTER OR OTHER PERSON FROM THE OUTSIDE TRIES TO OPEN THEM.. THIS IS A LAWSUIT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THEY ARE CHOOSING TO IGNORE IT. RECALL AND REPLACE THESE DOOR HANDLES WITH ONES THAT CAN ACTUALLY OPEN THE DOOR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT! I AM ON HIGH DOSES OF COUMADIN AND IF IT WERE MY FINGER I COULD HAVE BLEED TO DEATH.

my 91 silverado will shift into gear on start up but after the trans warms up i have no gears at all My 89 Blazer suddenly accelerates, and I have to ride the brakes to keep it from "jumping" foward. This is causing my brakes to really squeal, and the mechanic is telling me that he cannot find the cause. I have actually put the car in drive, and Transmission shifts after i reach 3000-4000rpms and let off the gas 97 blazer Transmission shifts after i reach 3000-4000rpms and let off the gas my power steering pump is leaking. How do I know if I need a new powersteering pump in my 2003 tahoe, will the fuel light work even if the gas gauge is broken? Anyone hear of a recall on the frame of a Chevy trail blazer. 2003 I recently installed an after market cd player in my 2004 Chevy Venture. Since then the passenger side sliding door won't automatically open by using the switch or by pulling the handle. bright lights will not come on. My 97 chevy van 1500 express 5.0 fuel gage just up and stopped working and suggestions? Engine Control system wen't from smooth to erratically stumbling to find it's set idle, I could also hear the twin TBI injector's pumping too much fuel into engine, drove it to the local store, was still running rough, trying to stall, it fi I have a 2009 obalt and have some questions that may help solve some problems that I have.
The car jerks when accelerating at low speed (i.e.stop and go traffic ), I have taken it to the dealer and got told there was nothing reported when they
