We purchased the 2009 Silverado from a friend. He never really used the passenger doors or the back doors. He did replace the door handle on the driver side and said it cost about $200+ to fix it. Thinking its not a big deal. Since I have had many vehicles in my 55 yrs of life, I have never experienced anything like this. The truck is falling apart. The door handle on the passenger side broke. Its made of the cheapest plastic I have ever seen. The whole thing came apart. I can see if it is being pulled on or abused in anyway but I assure you this is not the case. Now there is only 1 out of the 4 doors that the handle works. So this is really giving a bad name to the Chevrolet truck family. Suppose to be Tough.. This is definitely not the case. I think Chevrolet needs to replace all the handles on this truck with metal ones that will not break.
