2018 Chevrolet Equinox Seat belts Problems

“I am not able to adjust the height in which my seat belt lays on my chest. I am 5'3' and usually need to adjust the seat belt height in the vehicle. However, when I leased my vehicle, I noticed there was no way to adjust this. When I am driving, I have attempted to raise the height of my seat, however, my knees become too close to the steering wheel and I am then sitting too high in the vehicle to have good vision of the road. …”

“Air bag service light goes on when front passenger buckles up, if passenger unbuckles light disappears, it happens while driving, parked, backing up, all speed, all weather conditions, any roads. It looks the seatbelt activate that service light . I bought the car used 11/28/20 and still have dmv warranty 60 days, however stephen automall centre, bristol ct doesn't honor the warranty!”

And for brakes my brakes would hesitate and shake as is braking.”

I believe this has become a safety issue for the shorter driver (including student drivers). If an incident were to occur that required the seatbelt, I believe additional injury could result to the neck and possibly severe that otherwise wouldn't occur with properly fit seatbelts.”

“The current locked-in wall-mounted shoulder safety straps are very uncomfortable and possibly dangerous for a short person. Previously we owned a 2012 Equinox, and being under 5'2 tall, I used the wall-mounted shoulder strap slider adjustment to comfortably adjust the seat belt height in both the driver and front passenger seats. We now own a 2018 Equinox, and it no longer has the slider height adjustment (wall-mounted). It only has the locked-in shoulder strap. The shoulder strap rests against the side of my neck, and feels as if it is rubbing or cutting into my neck. …”
