The morning I was to leave on a cruise (and planned to leave $5000 worth of sound equipment locked in the back) was the first time I ever had any problem. At first I thought only the keyless remote was malfunctioning. Then I realized that even when I locked it manually at the door, only the 4 DOORS were locking. The hatch and window would never lock. A couple of other electrical oddities began to happen at the same time. Whatever is causing the main problem will undoubtedly clear these oddities also.

I saw where someone had exactly the same problem with a Chevy Trailblazer. Please let me know what the problem / solution was.

Thanks.

Update from Oct 19, 2016: Well, the GM dealer was able to find and fix my problem (rear hatch and window wouldn't lock when locked at the door. At the exact time the remote entry fob stopped working completely). The problem was a broken wire! $95 to diagnose and $92 to repair! I have another complaint: CARCOMPLAINTS.COM IS THE MOST USER-UNFRIENDLY SITE I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED!
