NHTSA complaint #10361845, filed 2010-10, 41,000 miles“2006 Monte Carlo has had problems with the seat belt and air bag failure. The air bag light illuminated. Diagnostics were run but no problems were found. When the air bags failed, this caused an issue with the onstar system. The air bag light was on while someone was sitting in the passenger seat. This meant that the air bag was not activated. The seat belt indicator light illuminated. The dealer replaced and reprogrammed the sdm. The onstar system had been replaced once. The air conditioner has been replaced once. The keyless entry system has been replaced and reprogrammed numerous times. …”
NHTSA complaint #10172235, filed 2006-10, 11,089 miles“Since I have gotten my vehicle in 06 I have noticed that the seatbelts in the back seat do not exactly work right. When you pull the belts out to put on the belts do not retract back in as they get stuck in the seat. My seats pull down to get into the trunk, so when you pull the belt out it slides into that gap. I was recently pulled over and the officer said that was a major safety hazard. I took my car in to get looked at and there was nothing that they could do or put there to fix the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10217297, filed 2008-02“There were four adults in the car (2) front (2) back and I was parking the car at my apartment. I parked the car and the (2) adults in the front seat got out and the (2) adults in the back seat could not get out. Both seatbelts were in the tight position as if you were stopping quickly. The seatbelts are draped over the seat because of the bracket holding them to the seat. The people in the back could not get out because of the seatbelt. I went to the seat and had to slide it backward a little to get the seatbelt to release.”
