I HAVE A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ WHICH HAS ~53000 MILE ON IT. I HAVE IN THE LAST 2 YEARS REPLACED 2 DOOR HANDLES AND 2 DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS. DEALERSHIP ACTUALLY TOLD ME THIS MORNING AFTER HAD 2ND LOCK ACTUATOR REPLACED THAT ANOTHER LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED. AS YOU COULD IMAGINE I WANTED TO EXPLODE. I WAS LIVID, ESPECIALLY AT THE COST OF REPLACING THESE ITEMS. I DID NOT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH IT BEFORE THEY STARTED LOOKING AT THE OTHER ONE. IT LOOKED LIKED THEY WERE TRYING TO MILK ME FOR MONEY IN MY OPINION. I AM ASTONISHED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THESE ITEMS, AS OF YET. IT IS APPARENT THAT THESE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE, ESPECIALLY THE LOCK ACTUATORS. ANY SEARCHES ON THE WEB OR DISCUSSION WITH ANY DEALER ADVISORS ONE WOULD REALIZE THESE PARTS HAVE ISSUES. THE LOCK ACTUATOR ISSUE IS THE MOST CONCERNING, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE SMALL CHILDREN RIDING IN THESE VEHICLES. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR A RECALL TO OCCUR, SOMEONE DYING? THESE PARTS(POSSIBLY CHINESE MADE)ARE FAILING LEFT AND RIGHT WITH REPLACEMENT COSTS UPWARDS OF $300 OR MORE. THESE PARTS ARE PROBABLY BEING REPLACED WITH DIFFERENT MANUFACTURED PARTS BUT OWNER WOULD NOT KNOW. THE DEALERSHIPS DO NOT WANT TO SHOW YOU THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. IS THERE A REASON THERE IS NO RECALL IN RESPECT TO THE LOCK ACTUATORS? *TR
