| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The safety harnesses on some seats ratchet up, lock, and choke the person using them. the first one to do that was in the far back and had been used only a few times when it failed and we requested the dealership to repair it. we were told that the 12-month warranty was expired and safety belts are not covered under extended warranty. now, the assembly that holds the shoulder harness to the sidewall of the vehicle, the bolts pulled completely out and the shoulder strap is not attached to anything. all but the driver's shoulder harness also ratchets up and locks, nearly strangling the person using it. i believe there are major safety issues with these seat belts. we are a family of 3 and the seat belts in the back seats are seldom used, the problems began when the vehicle was fairly new, and this is a major safety issue, especially the one where the bolts fell out. fortunately that happened when our 13-year-old grandson was latching it, not in an accident. i contacted gm and they denied any responsibility for repairing the safety belts. *nm |
