Default Need Help Please !!!!

I Own a 2005 C6 Z51 ,

I'm having the DBS or dead battery syndrome(already twice and dealer has no clue on what causes it,they just replace the battery) I've also had the starter replaced, headlight blown out, the roof lining is coming apart, also i'm not really sure if this is caused by the DBS but the passenger airbag light also comes on and off intermitently as well as the service column lock message,and other problems wich i don't know the specifics because they have not informed me on them yet.
I opened a case file with GM and got my own representative to work with but they just keep on running me around and no help is being offered, I've already owned 2 corvettes and i'm getting really dissappointed with this treatment. I'm asking for a repurchase of the car that way i get the new 2006 C6 or maybe even the new Z06 but they just have not helped.
I'm considering the lemon law for this issue because GM is leaving me no choice.
If There's anybody out there that can help in anyway i would greatly appreciate it. I'm going nuts and don't know what to do anymore!!
I love my car but it's just been a major headache.

Had an aftermarket stereo but this started happening before that and the dealer tested the car with and without the aftermarket stereo and no electrical draw was present either way. I know the same thing has happened to other corvette owners but the Dealers have not figured out the answer yet.

Should you file for lemon law be sure to put back ALL of the factory electronics. That way GM can not get you for anything. Hope no factory wires were cut.
