2004 Chevrolet Aveo Seat belts Problems

“2004 chevy AVEO rear seatbelts do not work . Safety recall issued and a guide to repair seatbelts was installed as part of the recall. The seatbelts once again are broken twisted and can not be used! I can sometimes fix one seatbelt but within a week it is not able to be used again! My daughter was squeezed by the seatbelt when I applied the breaks. It was a very tight squeeze but I was able to get out of the car and unbuckle her quickly so she had only very minor injuries. …”

“Driver seat belt buckle froze up and the buckle would not engage. This buckle has exhibited difficulty in the last couple of months. Many times would have to push belt into slot 2x or 3x before the buckle would catch. Never thought it would be a issue.

All I can say is that there are too many problems with the AVEO seat belts starting from 2004. I liked this little car but I am done. …”

After complaining to the manufacturer about the failure, GM still did not cooperate. The consumer just received a recall on the seat belt. Nhtsa recall 04v407000.”

“-the contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet AVEO and stated that since she purchased the vehicle the passenger's side seat belts never locked correctly in place. She took the vehicle to the dealer, and they replaced the seat belt, but she believed that they switched it from the front to the back. Currently, the seat belt has been locking when anyone sat in the back. Also, the dome lights iwere constantly burning out. This had occurred about three or four times. In addition, the clock did not work whenever she set the time, it would change on its own accord. …”
