“We have having problems with the seatbelts on our 1994 Chevrolet suburban. After closing the seatbelts, they have a tendency to pop open unexpectedly and especially when the brake is applied. (the force will cause them to open.) while no accidents have occurred, this is alarming to me because if there was an accident, the people in our vehicle would not be protected by seatbelts.”
NHTSA complaint #10203723, filed 2007-09“The contact owns a 1994 chevy SUBURBAN 1500. The driver side seat belt is failing to retract. The dealers technician stated that the seat retractor was failing and unable to be repaired since the manufacturer no longer made the part. The dealer recommended that the contact use the junk yard to obtain the part. The manufacturer stated that since the part is no longer available that she would have to obtain the part on her own. The failure mileage was 174,000 and the current mileage was 175,255. Updated 01/14/09. Updated 01/21/09”
NHTSA complaint #10252224, filed 2008-12, 174,000 miles“The seat belts will not retract when you lean forward and the wipers will work sometimes but most of the time they will not turn on. This reduces visibility while raining and if it results in a crash the seat belts may not work properly to protect the passengers.”
