2013: AUTOMATIC LIGHT OPENING DOOR BECAME COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR FEMALES DURING NIGHTTIME HOURS, EVEN WHEN PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY OR GOING TO CAR FROM HOME. I ALSO BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TURNING SIGNAL LEVEL. I HAD TO MANUALLY SWITCH THE BLINKER OFF AFTER TURNING, OTHERWISE MY BLINKER WOULD STAY ON THE ENTIRE DRIVE. IN MARCH, 2014, THE LEVER COMPLETELY SNAPPED OFF, AND I HAVE TO SHOVE IT INTO PLACE BEFORE AND AFTER TURNING TO PROPERLY EXECUTE ANY TURN BECAUSE THE LEVER HANGS AFTER EVERY MOVEMENT. I BEGAN HEARING A "THUMPING" SOUND AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN APPLYING MY BRAKES. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT IT MAY BE RELATED TO THE BRAKE LINE/PADS/ROTORS OR TIRES; HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD BOTH AREAS OF MY VEHICLE INSPECTED, AND THE TECHNICIANS COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE "THUMPING" NOISE CONTINUES MORE FREQUENTLY EVERY TIME. NO DEFINITIVE ANSWER AS TO WHAT IS CAUSING IT. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE VENT FOR MY DEFROSTER CRACK OFF, CAUSING THE PIECES OF THE VENT TO FALL INTO THE VENTILATION SYSTEM, BUT HASN'T CAUSED ANY SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH MY COOLING/HEATING/DEFROSTING SYSTEM (YET). IN JANUARY, 2014, MY POWER STEERING NOTIFICATION WOULD RANDOMLY COME ON AND STEERING LOCK UP WHILE IN PARKED POSITION. IN APRIL/MAY, 2014, THE PROBLEM ESCALATED WITHIN WEEKS, AND MY POWER STEERING DISENGAGED WHILE PULLING OUT OF THE BANK PARKING LOT, AND THEN AGAIN PULLING INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD. AT THAT TIME, I CONTACTED GM REGARDING THE PROBLEM, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL (YET GM OWNERS MANUAL HAD NOT PLACED IT ONLINE), BUT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. TODAY, POWER STEERING WENT OUT AFTER HITTING A WATER PUDDLE IN THE POURING RAIN. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR ME KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT TO DO (PUT ON HAZARDS, PUT VEHICLE IN PARK, TURN OFF AND THEN TURN ON VEHICLE), I WOULD HAVE ENDED UP IN SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR
