Just found this site. I have 3 of my 4 doors that have power locks not working.
1st chevy I've had in years and this might drive me back to Ford.
I went to the dealers and they said $300 each door, and they said there is no history of these going bad.

Dealer can say what they want but I know a few people personally that had trouble with these.

2008 Cheverolet 1500 Silverado, back door went out last year, had it replaced at the dealership. Front door just went out last week. I think I will try to fix it myself with 2 more doors in the future.

You know thats not a bad idea. I might trade this truck in on a Ford. I have treated this truck very well and I have had several issues with speakers, door locks and tire monitoring system that I am fed up. I have planned for years to give this truck to my son next year as his first vehicle, but after hearing these same problems are happening to other people and GM will not fix them it upsets me.

I've had two door lock actuators replaced under warranty. Was at the dealership last night looking to buy a new car for the wife and the driver door lock quit working.
Ohh and while at the dealership one of the lot crew employees hit my truck with another truck. The bumper end cap will need to be replaced as well as a the fender repainted. I highly doubt they will offer a 'discount' to replace the door lock since the truck is in for body repair. I'm getting tired of the inferior reliability of GM trucks. After spending $57,000+ on a new truck, a $100 door lock actuator is annoying to say the least.
