What owners wrote
Prelude to this event, involving my 2008 chevrolet silverado 1500 (approx 16,200 miles), was the warranty replacement for the failure of all 4 power door lock actuators. The actuators failed one at a time and each time an actuator would fail, the vehicle would shock the driver when touching the metal door while exiting the vehicle. The last actuator was replaced by the dealership on september 18th, 2009. On september 19th, 2009, after engaging my vehicle into reverse gear, the dashboard electrical went dead.
Door lock actuator failures. Failure to unlock but doors lock when placed into drive. Chevrolet will fix problem for around $1,200. In order to open rear doors on truck you must climd over front console or lower windows to manually unlock. This is a problem on every chevy 2008 and above vehicle that I know of.
