The back driver side door will not open from the inside or the outside when you pull the handle from the outside it doesn't feel like there's anything catching on the inside it's just loose, it's the same way from the inside also. I went to the store when I left my house I put my daughter in her car seat on that side the door open fine it shut and latched fine when I got to the store and got out to get my daughter out of her car seat the door just would not open it's like it's locked but it's not locked you can move the mechanical lock up and down from the inside , and you can also hit the lock and unlock with the key fob and it doesn't make a difference. The door just will not open. This really concerns me considering if there was an accident and the back passenger needed to get out of the car they wouldn't be able to. This could be a very bad safety issue, and has me extremely concerned considering I have three small children that ride in the backseat daily this is my daily driver

Popping noise coming from front end of car. Noise occurs with acceleration, braking, shifting transmission or passing over speed bumps or rough roads. Generally occurs at lower speeds, less than 35mph, but occurs with higher speeds as well, although not as frequently. (possibly coming from sub-frame or sub-frame bolts?)

This has occurred now four times since I bought the car the first three times were repaired under warranty. Now it has happened again. The door between the AC and the heat gets stuck on way or the other now it is stuck where you get heat on drivers side and AC on passengers and in the texas heat this is a safety hazard, its a known defect because other chevy owners know about it and mechanics yet nothing is done once a gain by chevy to fix the issue, I know of suburban owners, truck - silverado owners, impala owners , malibu owners of all years who have had this problem.
