NHTSA complaint #11501778, filed 2023-01“The left seat belt buckle comes unlatched all the time, the right one has just broken, making it totally useless. I took my vehicle in for the original recall, and was told that the recall was now closed. I offered to pay for the repairs, but was told that Chevrolet no longer manufactures the seatbelt buckles that are needed. They told me to go to a junkyard and get another set. I am not willing to do that, knowing that the seatbelts are faulty to begin with.”
NHTSA complaint #732523, filed 2000-09“Consumer received two recall letters for seatbelts. Red plastic buttons were brittle and discolored. Consumer felt that buckle may not latch in an accident because of condition of latches.”
