04 OBW LL Bean 2 Problems

[Alan]

1. Minor problem - The radio is sometimes dead. No lights at all. There are
6 CDs in the unit, so there are supposed to be 6 little indicators on, but
nothing. Can't turn the radio on. OnStar won't work either. I fix this
problem by pressing the CD eject button, or re-starting the car (reboots?).
The unit comes to life and all is fine. Any ideas? ( I will probably go to
the dealer and get it replaced unless someone tells me this is normal.

2. May be a problem, maybe not. My wife and I both started noticing that the
AT _sometimes_ shifts a bit rough from 2nd to 3rd. Car has about 18,000
miles. Been going this since maybe 15K. May have been doing it all along and
we just started noticing... Anyone else notice rough shifting btw 2 & 3? No
other symptoms.

Both if these problems are warranty issues. Have you checked your
transmission fluid level?
