My exact experiance too. I also get it hung up on RR tacks, but they are right after a left turn along my route come to think about it.

Wow, been a while since I found something new, well new to me.

To get the door to lock without a key before closing you have to hold down the door lock popper on the door and let it try to unlock like three times before it finally gives up and stays down. By the time it stayed down I was scared to close the door, it made me feel like I was doing something wrong.

My Cobalt does that too. It's to prevent you from accidentally locking your keys in the car. Shut the door, walk away, and hit the lock button on the keyfob.

Not to be confused with the radio still playing after you turn the ignition off but, when the car is unlocked and the key is out of the ignition unlocked you can play the radio simply by pressing the power button. My 3 year old nephew showed me this.

Does the traction control have "3" settings because if I turn the key to the on position and push the button twice, a display comes up saying "stabili competive mode"?
