| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2002 avalanche with approx. 40,000 miles...cannot lock or unlock the back tailgate. took it into the dealers repair shop and had it fixed and paid for it. they were not willing to work with me on it, even though it was obviously a defect and so close to my warranty expiration. now at 81,000 miles we have the same problem and cannot lock or unlock the back tailgate. i am afraid that i will break my key off in the lock if i force it too hard. i had the avalanche at the same service center for recall work and mentioned that i had the same problem again..they told me i would have to pay for it to fix it again. i told them don't bother. *nm |
