Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Driver's setabelt locks up, preventing the belt from being drawn off the reel. This prevents the driver from using the seat belt. The issue occurs while the van is parked and stationary, repeated attempts to give slack on the reel and extend it are unsuccessful. This is the third Chevrolet express van my company owns that has experienced this problem.”
