Greetings

 

I'm new to the club today.  These forums are great as I usually find the answer here before I go to the dealership and have to listen to their BS.

 

Problem- I have a '15 Silverado LT Crew Cab 58,000 miles and my passenger side front door lock just quit working. It doesn't open with the Fob, the driver side door lock switch or the passenger side door lock switch. Since it has no manual key door lock, I have to open rear door and reach in to unlock the door manually by pulling up on the nob. I'm assuming it's a switch, relay or actuator problem. I've owned many GM's and have replaced the window and power mirror switches before. Pretty simple to do.  I never got into changing the actuators as I don't feel like tearing apart my door. Has someone had a similar issue with just 1 door out of 4? What was the problem? I can take to dealership, but the ones near my house bends you over and doesn't ask permission first to violate you. 

 

I had the AC issue fixed under warranty, now I have this problem. With it being a '15, pretty disappointed in GM's quality lately.

Well if I had to completely guess. I’d do the door lock actuator. I’ve replaced a bunch of them. No way to be certain unless you test the circuits to the actuator. If you can do that, you can feel more confident about the repair.

Same thing on my 2014 Sierra except it's the drivers door. Actuator just quit working one day. Only 40,000 miles on the truck but it's out of warranty of course. From what i've read, big issue with them failing. They are cheap actuators and just quit. Just plan on replacing it. Local GM dealership told me their just a "problem area" and wouldn't do anything. Everyone thinks their should be a recall on these junk actuators for it's a safety concern. Doubt if GM will stand behind the issue and issue a recall though.

I had the auto door lock programed out on my '10.... could never get it done on my '14.

Would love to save the wear and tear from the auto lock feature by having it turned off.

2018 Silverado with approx 65K miles on it.  I've had the front driver and passenger door lock replaced all in the last 5K miles.  Now the rear passenger quit working.  3 failures in 5K miles.  What the heck!  Mines a double-cab.

 

Anyone got any ideas or are these just the cheapest things in the world.  About $300 to replace each one.

      Trim level custom/pro

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."

But you and I? We are not doing this.
