The contact owns a 1999 GMC Suburban. The interior handles had to be replaced on several occasions. The handles were made of plastic, and all four doors failed. To open the door the window must be used to open the vehicle from the outside handle. GMC hasn't done anything to assess the failure. The driver side handle has to be replaced more frequently since it was used daily. According to the technician they have seen this failure repeatedly. The current and failure mileage were 80,000.

Consumer states that the other day, he had parked and was attempting to get out of his vehicle. He says that nothing he tried would unlock the driver side from the inside. He said he finally had to crawl to the passenger side and opened the door from the outside. He said this was very frightening because what if the vehicle was on fire, he said he would have burned up. He took the vehicle to the shop and had it repaired. Please help because this should not have happened.

The rear automatic door lock failed to operate, the doors were unable to be opened manually. There was an incident where the consumer's daughter attempted to get out of the vehicle and the doors automatically locked, and was unable to manually unlock the door.
