1ST INCIDENT (2/4)- VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN PARK. DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. DOOR UNLOCKED AS IT SHOULD BUT DOOR REMAINED SHUT. HAD TO EXIT VEHICLE OUT OF PASSENGER DOOR. TRIED OPENING DOOR FROM OUTSIDE, REMAINED SHUT. LEFT VEHICLE FOR 20 MINUTES, RETURNED AND TRIED OPENING AGAIN WOULD NOT OPEN WITH REMOTE. A FEW HOURS LATER, DOOR OPENED LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. 2ND INCIDENT (2/17)- SAME AS BEFORE. TURNED ON AND OFF CAR AGAIN STILL COULD NOT OPEN DOOR. EXITED OUT OF PASSENGER DOOR. CAME BACK TO CAR AFTER 2 HOURS AND DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. ARRIVED HOME 20 MINS LATER, IT OPENED. TRIED CLOSING DOOR AND IT WOULD NOT CLOSE. AFTER 4 TRIES, IT FINALLY SHUT AND WAS ABLE TO LOCK CAR. SINCE THEN I HEAR AIR COMING IN THE CAR WHILE DRIVING BUT HAVE CHECKED THE WINDOWS AND THEY WERE ALL UP. ALSO NOTICED STATIC IN RADIO WHILE DRIVING. IT WOULD STOP AND START AGAIN REALLY QUICKLY. A LOT OF STATIC WHEN PLAYING MP3. 3RD INCIDENT (2/19)- SAME OCCURRENCE AS BEFORE. DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN; STARTED WORKING AGAIN AFTER A FEW HOURS. DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK UNTIL AFTER A FEW TRIES. CONTINUED STATIC IN RADIO EVEN AFTER DOOR ISSUE. 4TH & 5TH INCIDENT (3/4 & 3/5) - SAME OCCURRENCE. DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT WORK ALL DAY. 6TH INCIDENT (3/5) - DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN THIS MORNING. 30 MINS LATER IT OPENED. 5 HOURS LATER AFTER TAKING IT TO FIRESTONE TO CHECK OUT PROBLEM, DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. (LOCKED TECHNICIAN INSIDE THE CAR). TECHNICIAN REFERRED ME TO GM DEALERSHIP FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS. HE SUGGESTED IT MIGHT BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THIS IS REALLY FRUSTRATING. DROPPING VEHICLE OFF TONIGHT TO BE SEEN ON 3/6. *TR
