Door Lock Mechanism Sticks
From approx. 60,000 mi.s drivers door will occasionally stick in the lock position regardless of lock solenoid actuation. Cycling door lock solenoid several to "many" times has usually loosened it up, however, now at 128,000 mi.s it has been stuck for 3 days. Getting tired of climbing over passenger side to get in. Wish GM would have put an access hole in the door for the straw tip of a lube spray!!! Anyone know of a fix?

RepairPal Expert Overview:
On some vehicles, the fuel tank may be missing the adhesive that bonds the barrier layer to the outer shell. This may allow fuel and/or fuel vapors to leak out between the layers, increasing the risk of fire. Dealers will inspect the serial numbers on the fuel tank and replace it if needed. The recall began November 13, 2006. The GM recall number is 06160.
Learn more »Electronic Climate Control May Not Function Correctly
RepairPal Expert Overview:
The HVAC system may stop functioning due to a software issue in the climate control module. System failure would reduce the driver's ability to command the defrost function. This can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. To correct the problem, dealers will reprogram the electronic control module for the HVAC. The recall is expected to begin by March 11, 2011. The General Motors recall number is 11057.
Learn more »Unexpected Activation of the Anti-Skid System
RepairPal Expert Overview:
The anti-skid (stabilitrak) system may have an incorrect calibration, which can cause the system not to properly detect a sensor malfunction. A malfunctioning sensor may cause the stabilitrak (ESC) to falsely activate, resulting in sudden changes in vehicle handling and deceleration. These unexpected changes in vehicle handling may cause a loss of vehicle control. Dealers will update the electronic brake control module (EBCM) software to correct this concern. The General Motors recall number is 11222.
