My car started itself when the key was in my pocket and i was at the rear of the car unloading. I do not have a keyless entry or starting feature on my car. I was parked at our community garden and my daughter and i were unloading garden tools, so we were touching the car and felt it when it fired up. It was an underwear changing moment.

Since i purchased this vehicle, i constantly get a "service airbag" message on my dashboard. I have notified the dealer as well as gm/chevorlet by phone and was told that unfortunately there is no recall for this. I took my car to the dealer in which i purchased and since they did not see the message they said there is nothing they can do.

The radio will not turn on when i start the vehicle. It is not until 10 minutes later that the radio will finally turn on and work properly. This also effects the turn signals and hazard lights. I feel that with the fact the turn signals do not work this is a safety hazard and a recall needs to be issued to fix this problem. This started in my driveway.
