“2006 chevy suburban rear liftgate will not unlock. I've investigated this matter on the internet and found tons of people with other chevy models experiencing the same issues. Chevy didn't install any type of key entry from outside or a release handle inside. With this occurring all the time with numerous vehicles all over the country, chevy should be recalling this product to fix it. If something happened in one of these vehicles like a fire and a child was to get trapped or an adult this would be disaster...”
