difficulty opening center console now is cleared up
I rarely sit in the passenger seat of my car. I think out of the 12,700 miles on the odo I have 2 miles in the passenger seat 
scares my wife to drive it 
well not the car but me 
doing some work on the car today I had to open the center console from the passengers side . . . now I see why people have complained about it not opening all the way . . . good design the back of it hits the parking or emergency brake lever. . . so you have to put on the foot brake or not but take off the emergency brake to keep the top from striking the console . . .

It does hit up against the emergency brake. Not the best in design.

Mine has hissing fits. It often doesn't open as it binds up and won't go more than half way open. I found that I must pull up away from the hinging to free the bind. Hey, it's only a $50 grand car, you expect Lexus or Acura quality? And GM wonders why they can't compete on the high end car lines.... geeez!
