Okay.. so I park my CTS this morning after my drive to work and decide to put something in the glove box. When I press the 'Release' the entire release button comes flying out along with a plastic pin/shaft and a spring. Hmmm, okay.. "well, this shouldn't even happen on the cheapest Chevy".. I said to myself. I was able to re-close the glove box door (without the release button and other hardware attached). Of course now I can't open the glove box door until the thing is fixed (as in fully assembled again). I've called the dealer, and they said they'd order in a new latch & release assembly and set up an appointment for me when the parts come in.
Maybe when the car goes in for
that job I'll have them fix another 'small problem' I've noticed, that of a bad fit-up between the front left fender and left-side facia panel.. as well as an excessive gap between the bottom of the headlamp assembly and left-front facia. The dealer's service manager recently inspected the poor fit-up (on my particular request they do so) and declared that they would likely have to remove the front bumper to correct the panel alignment problem.
So the car is going into the shop once again.
I've included a couple of photos below regarding the two issues I've reported on here.
