Warning chime sound :Problem is, the speaker where the warning sounds come from is intermittent. In fact, I cannot tell if I have the blinkers on without looking at the dashboard. The seatbelt chime and the key is left in the ignition when the door is open doesn't work as well. My opinion is if a car manufacturer is going to change the role of the sound system from merely producing sound for the radio to sounding safety warning chimes it should be considered a safety devise . Some complaints state it is a issue with the speaker I believe it is a problem with the radio itself. GM has issued a recall on newer GM products with the same types of problems but not the same sound system. Like I stated before it is a intermittent problem and as crazy as it sounds ( or doesn't :) ) the chimes seem to work more often when the outside temperature is above 80 degrees.
When I purchased the car in 2006 I noticed the music would shift from one side of the car to the other. I would take it to the dealership and they would say nothing is wrong. Well something is/and has been wrong because the front speakers don't work at all, only the back speakers.
