Small quirks I have found since my purchase of my 2000 NB

[tech.henderson]

Well lets see, so far I have been driving my 2000 NB and I have noticed the smallest of issues, both core and mundane, and was hoping for some "moral" support through the forum about what to do with the issues I have discovered. Here is what I have found so far:

1. While on cruise control, when activating my left turn signal the cruise gets deactivated, and does not happen with the right turn signal.
2. When opening the trunk, the mechanism does not pop up the trunk but will still release the trunk, sometimes I have noticed when using the wireless trunk release that I have to do it while I am standing there so that I can pull it open right as the mechanism releases otherwise it stays locked
3. When parking on the smallest of inclines so the front end is slightly raised ever so much I notice that when I turn off the car it rolls back about a good few inches. I have noticed an issue similiar to this with another vehicle when I release the brake, but not when I have already released the brake but had yet to turn the engine off.
4. When using the leather heated seats, the seats will warm up but it feels like it only works on 5
5. When opening the armrest, the top part that opens and closes has a small part of its hinge broken
6. When driving over 50mph and releasing the gas slightly the vehicle will jerk a little and to explain te sensation it feels like if i had slightly tapped on the break

Any help would be appreciated. I figure I want to get these issues resolved so I would assume asking the informal professionals would be my best first approach.

Thank you in advance

1: sounds like your turning signal stalk is broken.
2: This is normal, for what it's worth, it can by adjusted/fixed. some people have - do a search.
3: i dunno about it, but it's probably something thats automatic only
4: yup, thats how weak it is with the leater.
5: that part is easy to break, the hinge is only around $15 from your dealer, or from ECS
6: i dunno, prolly an auto tranny thing.

Slight rollback without the parking brake engaged is normal for an auto trans, but it shouldn't do it more than an inch or two at most.. if it's going back farther the parking "gear" is failing. Always use the parking brake.

The trunks are always a pain.... mine does that too and i've yet to adjust it, i just go to the trunk then use the keyless and grab my spoiler (often it won't pop up enough for my fingers even). You ahve ~5 seconds before it "relocks."
