“The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet EXPRESS 3500. The contact stated that the release button on the passenger side seat belt failed. As a result, the passenger was trapped in the seat belt for thirty minutes. She had to remove a screw from the seat in order to lift the seat belt over her head. Currently, the release button for the buckle has still not released. The manufacturer sent a specialist, who stated that they would not assist in the repair; however, there was a prior recall for this failure that had been previously repaired. The dealer stated that the failure was caused by the buckle. …”
