Concern 1 as a female it is a safety issue to be stranded in my vehicle, recently what I thought was a battery issue turned out to be a key fob issue. I have been stranded with a well cared for vehicle that has keys that start and get to destination, but have gotten back in my vehicle and the car does not recognize the fob. Concern 2 I have noticed that the cruise control is automatically coming on, and I have to manually turn it off, there have been times when I was not aware until until I took foot off accelerator and the car still traveled at the cruise speed, tapping the brake did not disengage the cruise setting.

At 65 mph, the gear shift knob, shift cover and assembly separated from the car - the base-metal stick shift was all that remained, and thus the safety latch that prevents car from being shifted into reverse, instead of a forward moving gear, normally attached to the exterior, was now missing. Alas, safely shifting into any of its 6 gears, was not an option... it's odd, but per its original manufacturing specs, the entire transmission system in the 9-3, has zero locking mechanism to keep the knob and cosmetic housing from separating. Numerous other reports have been reported to dealerships and across the internet. GM still covers 9-3, 2008, under its warranty policies.
