Problems, problems, problems

So I just bought my 06 balt a month ago. I bought the extended warranty (thank god!!) and am covered until 100,000 km's. Since the purchase, the cruise control has broke, the speakers are giving off a hissing noise whether the volume is low or high, there is a loud hollow sound behind the steering wheel when I hit a bump, and I even got locked in my car one day. Worst of all, the doors are unaligned and are very rough. Because of this, paint has chipped the whole way down my door. Sure, you can say I shouldnt have drove the car, but I bought the car only a month ago and this is my only form of transportation. I booked an appointment when all of this started happenning, but it cant be look at until Friday. What do you think warranty will cover? I'm worried most about the paint, which chipped as a rresult of the door. Any suggestions, I dont want to pay for paint. Thanks.

Yeah I don't think I will ever buy a greatly used Chevy. Someone got rid of it for a reason.

It took a long to convince my GF of this. Someone doesn't just dump an amazing car, it has flaws or something wrong with it.
