Three of the four locks on my 2008 chevy silverado no longer work when using the remote. They quit working right after the 36,000 mile factory warranty expired.

24 nov 2008: bought new 2008 chevrolet silverado pickup truck from local dealer. Discovered that the inside door handles, being located below the arm rest (as opposed to being above the arm rest in our trade-in 2007 gmc pickup truck) could not be operated without extreme pain and effort by my wife who has carpal tunnel syndrome in both arms. 25 nov 2008: asked the dealer to take this truck back and return my…
