yep, join the club. Do a search here & you'll see several threads on this issue.

Yep.....I had the same problem. First the drivers at 5K miles then the passenger at 15K miles. Now I'm worried about the rear passenger doors going out. What a pain!

Ok, somethings wrong with my passenger, its the whole thing, like it wont even lock manually... is that the actuator, solenoid, or the actual cylinder??

My 2008 drivers door went out last week, haven't had the chance to swing by the shop to drop it off, 23k miles... GM and their cheap parts!

Has anyone had their door lock actuators go out?? I have had both the drivers door and the passenger front door actuators go out. Luckily the extended warranty covered them. NOW my passenger rear door lock actuator went out.. DOes anyone know if there is a TSB on this problem. I have been on the phone with GM corporate all week and they refuse to admit there is a problem with them. I am at the point where i just want the last 2 actuators replaced now, so I quit wasting my time. I told them that I was disgusted at the piece of crap units they used during assembly. I did notice on the units that were replaced that they were manufactured by a totally different company.

I have had both on the driver side fail.

Add me to the list. Passenger front door actuator replaced at 19,000 miles.

New guy, but worth chiming in.
Door actuator issue hit me as well - driver's door at around 8k miles. Wasn't sure if it was tied to the fact that someone broke into that door a bit before, but pretty convinced it was just coincidence.
By the way, anyone know the GM part number for the outside handle for a driver's side rear door in chrome for an '08 LTZ? Truck's been broken into twice, and I want to remove the tumbler/mechanical lock to keep the thieves away.

argh, I would like to join in on the bandwagon with you guys, my sister's door lock actuator also gave way, been waiting for the part to arrive in her home and i'm the one who will install it. why is it that every time I fix a minor problem another one pops out of no where.
