Driver side door will not open from inside or outside. Door locks all work go up and down and the other three doors lock and unlock and open, but driverside never opens. Happened once before but after manually using driver lock it caught and worked for close to a month before happening again and now it won't open. Both times happened parked and closing the door the door wouldn't latch shut, after 2nd attempt to close the door it latched shut but then would not open again.
We got up this morning, went to get into our car and as I tried to unlock it I noticed my keyless entry would not unlock the door. I asked my boyfriend if his was working, and his wouldn't open the car either. So I unlocked the door manually and no alarm sounded. The dash didn't light up as it usually does either. I tried starting my car, the idiot lights came on as did my stereo, but the car never tried to turn over. We had no interior lights, no headlights, and not even hazards!! I thought hazards we're supposed to work in emergencies but apparently I was mistaken. Thank god we weren't broke down in the middle of a road or freeway. I've noticed other years of this particular car have a recall for an ignition switch, why not this one? because their stories sound just like mine. This car is being towed to the shop tomorrow morning. If it is the ignition switch, chevy will be hearing from me.
