The driver door module does not work when it rains. I took this to a dealer and after they tested it told me it needed to be replaced $500. For part plus labor that they could not quote. I checked on line to find out if gm had recall on these vehicles and found that they did 2004 - 2007 mine is a 2008 experiences the exact issues that the others had but gm can't help me because my VIN # is not listed. Why did gm not try to help me with this issue? When over 184,000 vehicles where recalled for this issue. What do I need to do to see if I can get help to replace this? I wouldn't ask but I feel its only right to replace it after all those vehicles where recalled and mine is doing the exact same thing. It happens every time it rains apparently it leaks in the door some how and it gets wet and want work it controls seat heat, all door locks and windows and driver window. I purchased this vehicle used in 2014 and it has done it every since I have owned it by the time it gets back to the dealer its working again. Usually a day or so and it will work. This time its not working

Water got on the window switches because the drivers window was left open a little during a rain storm, and none of the windows or door lock switches on the drivers door worked for 2 days. I know that there's a re-call for 2006 & 2007 model years for the same reason, so why not on the 2008?

Driver door lost power not working at all, all other functions (passenger, rear, and trunk locking functions work) there was a recall on this same function for 2006-2007 but 2008 was not include. The corrosion that could result in a short in the circuit board. A power short in door lock and power window switches to function intermittently or become inoperative. The short cause overhearing, which could melt components of the door module, producing odor, smoke, or a fire. After review with my service provider this is same problem with the pass recall. Chevrolet recall does not go far enough to include all model year's after 2007 which also be checked for older parts place in newer models.
