REAR PASSENGER DOOR ACTUATOR FAILED. NOW, THE OTHER 3 ACTUATORS ARE FAILING AS WELL. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, PASSENGERS AND DRIVER CAN HAVE THEIR DOORS REMAIN LOCKED. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT THE CHILDREN IN THE 2ND & 3RD ROW CAN BECOME TRAPPED WHEN THE ACTUATORS FAIL. THE DOOR LOCK KNOB IS WAY BACK IN THE REAR DOOR, MAKING IT NOT ACCESSIBLE FROM THE FRONT SEAT OR FRONT DOOR. THIS IS CLEARLY A QUALITY ISSUE. TO HAVE ONE FAIL MIGHT BE JUST BAD LUCK, TO HAVE ALL 4 FAIL IS CLEARLY A DESIGN & QUALITY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I HOPE GMC DOES NOT WAIT UNTIL CHILDREN ARE HURT DUE TO LOCKED DOOR BEFORE THEY ADMIT IT IS AN ISSUE & JUST FIX IT. *JB

ONE BY ONE THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. ALL BEFORE 60,000 MILES. THE DOORS WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK ELECTRONICALLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE DOORS DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN GEAR. A CHILD COULD OPEN THE DOOR AS YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. NEEDS A RECALL. *TR
