2006 Chevrolet Tahoe ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,STRUCTURE

MY LIFTGATE ACTUATOR FAILED, MY CAR WAS NOT LOCKABLE I WAS TOLD BY GM THAT BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF MY CAR IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED NOT IN STOCK NOT ORDER ABLE. I WAS TOLD TO ORDER IT ON LINE I DID INSTALLED AND FAILED IN 11 DAYS. THE PART WAS SOLD BY DOORMAN MADE IN CHINA. I BUY AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS AND I'M TOLD BY AN AMERICAN COMPANY TO BUY SOMETHING MADE IN CHINA DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? *TR

THE TAILGATE ACTUATOR WILL NOT OPEN THE LIFTGATE OR GLASS ON THE TAIL LIFTGATE. THE VEHICLE HAS NO KEY ACCESS ON THE EXTERNAL PORTION OF THE VEHICLE. ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE THERE IS NO MANUAL RELEASE FOR THE LIFTGATE. CURRENTLY I HAVE NO WAY OF OPENING THE LIFTGATE OR GLASS. IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT NOW, THE THIRD ROW PASSENGERS HAVE NO MEANS OF EXITING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

2006 CHEVROLET TAHOE TAIL GATE WILL NOT OPEN. THE KEY FOB IS THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK IT-THERE IS NO KEY LOCK ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TAILGATE, AND TO MY UTTER SHOCK---NO INTERIOR LATCH TO UNLOCK THE TAILGATE FROM THE INSIDE. THERE IS ALSO ABSOLUTELY NO WAY TO UNLOCK THE WINDOW SEPARATELY FROM THE TAIL GATE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS IDENTICAL ISSUE-AND AM ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL ISSUE-A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY--BEFORE SOMEONE BECOMES TRAPPED IN A CAR ACCIDENT OR VEHICLE FIRE. VERY DISAPPOINTED CHEVROLET HAS DONE NOTHING TO DATE TO SOLVE THIS VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM!! I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS USELESS-AND CHEVROLET NEEDS TO DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO RESOLVE HIS DEFECTIVE AND FAULTY EQUIPMENT---IMMEDIATELY! *TR

NOT SURE EXACTLY THE DATE IT STOPPED WORKING, BUT THE TAILGATE WILL NOT LOCK. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ACTUATOR GOES BAD AND IT WOULD COST NEARLY $500 TO REPLACE. SO EVEN WHEN I LOCK THE DOORS TO THE VEHICLE, ACCESS CAN STILL BE GAINED THROUGH THE TAILGATE. *TR

2006 LIFT GATE WILL NOT OPEN AFTER 68,000 MILES, DEALER WANTED 500.00 TO FIX.. WHAT A RIP OFF ALSO A VERY SAFETY CONCERN FOR CHILDREN & PETS...ALSO LOADING ISSUES..IN SHORT TERMS SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A (T O Y O T A ) THEY ARE BUILT TO LAST ..END OF STORY.. CHEVY SUCKS. *TR
