Q&A

Where are you seeing the recall for this? It is not listed under any GMC recall. The only recall is for the windshield washer fluid heater. Also, if you want your complaint heard, GMC does not have any interest. This is a money making machine when everyone gives in and takes it for repair without being heard. The dealer makes money and GMC makes money.
Go to www.safercar.gov and files your complaint stating it is a safety concern. My child almost fell out of our moving vehicle by being able to open the door due to a door lock failure. His seatbelt was the only mechanism to keep him from being killed.

I have also had the door lock actuator go out on all four doors of my 2008 GMC Yukon. My dealership replaced three of them free of charge, as the vehicle was under warranty. They would not honor the warranty on the fourth one, even after I argued that this had to be a flawed part. They wanted $300 to fix the actuator on the fourth one. My son bought the part in Oklahoma City and we installed it ourselves, but I am really ticked that the dealership would not fix it free of charge. I just had another one go out on one of the locks that they had already fixed and I am going to take it back to see if they fix it free of charge since they had already replace it once. This vehicle has 52000 miles on it, and has had five actuators go out in three years of driving.

Hi I have the same problem with my 2008 yukon and no way I am giving GM the satisfaction of charging me again for fixing the actuator on front passenger side. I would like to ask you how to take the door panel off to get at the actuator. I took it of my 2005 yukon xl but I don't know it's the same way and would not want to screw up.I would really appreciate any advise you can give me Thanks. Regards ...................Joe

I'm on my third door lock plus now the interior :"chroming" on the drivers door is peeling making it as sharp as a knife!! My car is out of warranty so I've paid for both of these repairs out of pocket. My repairmen says he has done several doors on these models - GM should do a recall!!

I had 3 actuators replaced in on yukon 08 in set 09 and the 4 th just went. gm won't replace because out of warranty! the last gm car I buy.
