#75 of 77 05 maxx will not down shift

I just got home from driving my maxx in a little bit of snow. Usually when I drive in the snow I use the +/- button on my shifter to drive in lower gears (usually 2nd) which gives me a lot more control. I came upon a large hill and my car started to slide quite a bit, I was going pretty slow so I tried to put the car in second gear and it would not work at all. I could get the car to down shift but no lower than third gear. Is this a sign of a transmission problem?
#76 of 77 Electrical problems

I have a Malibu Maxx 2007 hatchback model and I am experiencing electrical problems. When I open the driver's side door the interior lights do not light up it is as if the vehicule door has never opened, I've learned to live with this defect since it does not affect anything else on the vehicle. However recently when I lock and arm the alarm system on the vehicule, the alarm will sound off as if someone is opening the door from the interior. Furthermore when I start the engine the computer indicates that one of the doors are open, yet they are all closed properly. Can somebody please help me with this dilema

Once out of warranty the driver's side heating has a mind of its own. Sometimes it stays on all of the time, except when the car is off. Other times it works perfectly.
The same of the drivers side electric seat operation. It gets stuck in one position for a few days and then it just starts working again.
Other than that, love this car.
