Power door lock quit working on rear door on drivers side and then 3 weeks later the rear door on the passenger side quit working. This is a huge safety issue if you have small children and you think the doors are locked.

Right rear door lock would operate intermittently at first and finally will not unlock at all with auto door lock or key fob. It is also starting to do the same thing on the left rear door lock so I know it will only be a matter of time before it will not unlock either.

The right rear door lock works intermittently with my power door lock system on my 2008 Chevy Impala. Also the right front passenger door lock worked intermittently at first and now it does not respond. I have done some research online and I know I am not the only owner of a 2008 Chevrolet Impala with this problem. Pleas help. Is there any way a recall can be issued to get this issue fixed? it is impossible to unlock the right rear door from the outside with a key because there is no key hole. There is only one key hole on to unlock a door with the car key and it is on the driver side door only.

2008 Chevy Impala. Right rear door lock began working intermittently. Right front followed suit shortly afterwards. Now, some 5 months later, the driver door is behaving the same way. It makes transporting my children difficult and unsafe. If there were to be an accident, the children in the back seat are not likely to have the mental capacity to remember to unlock the door which could lead to further injury or death. Wiring harness in the center console is poorly designed and located in such a way that the wiring breaks and making it so electrical safety devices do not disengage thus not letting the key be removed, the vehicle not being able to shift from park, and other failures yet to be identified.

We are getting ready to have to replace our third set of tires. We bought our Impala new and replaced our first set of tires at Feb. 2010 (38,000 miles). Replaced again at 54,000 miles Dec. 2011. Replaced again at 65,000 Nov. Of 2012 and it is in need ot new rear tires again at 72,000. Car shakes and back end slides in bad weather. Service department states that it needs a cambor kit. Research has shown that Chevrolet produced a faulty suspension rod and recalled "police owned" vehicles but not consumer vehicles. Do not feel safe in vehicle or allowing my 16 year old to drive it. My car is aligned and tires rotated and serviced frequently! tires wear down to metal sticking out of tires and inner wear is incredible. Left tire behind the driver is the quickest to have problems and begin to cause car to shake. Secondly, rear door automatic door locks quite working after 2 years of owning car. How do I become part of the class action law suit.

The left rear door actuator failed and the remote opener and the driver's and passenger's electric locks would not open or lock the left rear door from the inside. I was advised by local GM dealer that this problem does not constitute a safety recall, even though it involved passengers who would be riding in the back seat of the vehicle.

Power door locks stopped working. I can open the drivers door with the key, but the other power locks do not open. It started with the rear locks and now includes all locks. This is dangerous because we carry our small grandchildren in their car seats in the back. The only way to unlock the doors is to roll down the power window and reach in to unlock. I have discussed this with Chevrolet but they say they have no reports of others having this problem. This is hard to believe since there are so many reports of this on the internet forums. I believe this is a very serious safety issue. In an accident, the rear windows may not function and we would have to break out the rear windows to free our grandchildren.

Both rear power door locks have failed. They are inoperable from inside the vehicle. This has caused an unsafe condition for the passengers in the rear seats of the vehicle. This in a very common problem with the 2008 Impala. Chevrolet is aware of the issue, but has not started a recall to address the issue.

The rear lock on the passenger side door will not unlock when the car is switched out of gear or when using the button on the key control. Based on information in the internet it is caused by a type of grease that bleeds into the latch actuator and happens frequently to the 2008 Chevy Impala. This represents a very serious situation in an emergency situation where a baby, child or adult may not be able to exit the vehicle quickly. Hopefully this can be categorized as an emergency recall where Chevy will quickly repair this defect at no cost to the owner. ## VIN passed ## Chevy, Impala, 2008 ##.

Using fob or lock/unlock buttons, the door locks randomly do not lock or unlock. It was checked, but no solution offered. With the back door locks being at the back of the door, this is a major inconvenience and can be a safety hazard for elderly and disabled individuals. It is also a safety issue when you assume the doors are locked (or unlocked), but they aren't. there should be a recall, but just like the intake manifold gasket and low quality paint issues on Chevrolet vehicles in the past, I am sure there will not, and we will all continue to buy $30,000 pieces of junk!

The rear door locks will not operate via the electrical. This I believe causes a hazard for a rear seat passenger especially an infant or young child. They could be trapped by the in-ability of the driver to activate the rear door locks to evacuate the rear seat passengers in an emergency.

- Kalamazoo, MI, USA

Failure of power door locks. This is a safety issue. In order to keep the vehicle secure, the doors must be locked. If a child, infant or disabled person would be in the back seat and needed to get out in an emergency, the door cannot be opened from the outside without someone first climbing through the seats from the front and reaching way back to the back of the door to unlock it manually or breaking the window. This takes time and could result in serious injury or death to a passenger. This problem is known by GM as they have made modification to the part for the rear driver side door but have not yet modified the part for the rear passenger door. Some drivers are now reporting that the front doors are also affected by this defect. Each part is approximately $175 or $700 for all doors affected and probably that much again in labor costs. Other complaints and incidents can be found by searching the subject on the internet.
