Help!!!
My month old car has been sitting about a week and I got into it tonight tried to start it and it wouldn't start.....then it wouldn't let me out. After about 45 seconds it let me out but now the headlights and dashlights are on but it won't let me open the door. What the heck?

Sounds like the car battery is about gone. It's been known to happen to C6s that haven't been driven much. Others here who have experienced it will probably tell you what you need to do next.
Hopefully, you can still get in through the rear hatch and pull the cable on the left side that unlocks the door.

Thanks for the info about the emergency door releases...I had totally forgot then started to panic. I guess maybe I need to take it back to the stereo installer and get it checked out. Thanks for the info.

I would hope it's just a flaky battery and not the aftermarket stereo. But sounds like something obviously is causing a slow drain.
What is it with these cars? Someone recently reported similar problems after swapping out their XM receiver with Sirius.
