The rear driver side automatic door lock does not unlock or lock with the remote or if you use the button on the driver's door. You have to unlock it manually. I have two small children using car seats and need to be able to get them out in the event of an emergency.

Drivers side window makes a popping sound when rolled down. My indications were identical to complaint 10245483. I determined the door strap was hitting the glass when the door was closed. I removed the strap and ground the T shaped metal as instructed in the above complaint (see my complaint #10269413). This eliminated the loud popping sound but I still had some scraping noise. I went to the dealer to get a new retaining strap. I was quoted $175. I asked to look at it and discovered the design is different than the one on my vehicle. The T bracket is no longer square and the edge facing the glass is now at a 45 degree angle. I removed the strap once again and ground the bracket to 45 deg. This fixed the problem. Pontiac apparently has recognized this problem and has changed the design of this bracket.

I have the age old problem of the popping sound when I open or close the drivers side window. I have had the bolts replaced per the recall and there was no change. After reading report #10245483 I did as suggested. There is no problem when the door is open only when it is closed. I removed the door limit strap and could see shiny metal where the T part had been rubbing. I removed this restraining strap and ground about 1/8 inch off the T section. This corrected the problem. Thanks to the author of complaint #10235483.
