Vehicle is on stationary state. (1) the "rear door lift gate would drop slowly", but it is now becoming harmfully worse as being used. I believe this is due to poor quality parts on the lift itself. This is not common to happen in other autos. Repair is inevitable. (2) the passenger front seat is locked up. No forward or backward movement, although it is reclining. It doesn't matter if vehicle is moving or not.

The bottom seam of all four doors have begun to rust. The back two doors appear to be worse than the front two. I, by chance, happened to notice the rust while cleaning out the back seat around mileage 38,000 but it looks to have started much earlier by the amount on the back two doors. Gm needs to remedy this situation before the doors rust out. How does canada get the recall but not the us, this makes no sense.

My spouse was opening the drier's door and the trim at the bottom of the door (which is fiber glass material) cut her leg about six to eight inches above the left ankle. The trim sticks when the driver's door is opened. It took 16 stitches to close the wound. The trim needs to re-finished or tapered to prevent others from getting hurt. This is a really bad cut and she was in a lot of pain. Updated 06/08/11 *bf
