“The drivers side seatbelt fails to latch. On the morning of 5/22/2015 I was able to get the seatbelt to finally latch. When I went to lunch I could not get the seatbelt to latch no matter what I tried. The red button moves up and down freely just like the other seatbelt latches in the vehicle. Is there a recall on this year Impala?”
NHTSA complaint #10721029, filed 2015-05, 172,000 miles“I bought this vehicle used 17 months ago and have had intermittent problem with seatbelt but yesterday the seat belt would not buckle into latch on driver's side at all, checked for debris, coins in the way, not there. The red release latch will not release and pop back open so that it can accept the buckle. I called the dealer and he said there are no recalls for this item and I can bring it in and pay $106.00 for them just to look at it. I am going to try and find the parts to fix it myself.”
NHTSA complaint #10546595, filed 2013-10, 68,030 miles“I did not know who to report this to or I would have done this about 6 months ago. Every day when it is the first time to drive the car for the day, I have trouble getting the drivers side seatbelt to latch. It does not latch for my first attempt. But it may take a few times before it finally does. I have been very concerned that at some point it will not latch at all or that I may not be able to unlatch it. I do not want to drive without the seatbelt. There are times when I have my grandchildren with me so this is a concern for me. My husband purchased a devise to cut the belt if necessary. …”
