“My 7 year old daughter was sitting in her booster seat with her seatbelt on, in the rear passenger seat of our 2005 chevy Uplander. She leaned forward to pick something off the floor, and the seatbelt ripped out of the seat.”
NHTSA complaint #10287179, filed 2009-10, 145,000 miles“On march 17, 2007 at approximately 6:00 pm my husband, myself and 4 children arrived home. We own a 2005 Chevrolet Uplander. My oldest daughter 7 was sitting all the way to the rear driver's side when she unbuckled the seat belt and she started yelling that she couldn't get out! My husband went to the back to see what was wrong ,and she was completely entangled in the seat belt. She was crying hysterically, and was scared to death! Somehow when she unbuckled the seat it retracted so fast that it was twisted and entangled around her waist. …”
NHTSA complaint #10187635, filed 2007-04, 50,000 miles“Power sliding doors open / close by themselves at times (usually right door, but sometimes left). Sometimes, when the door has been closed it will reopen & have to be closed manually. At times the door will stay closed, but the 'dinging' noise will continue for the entire time I am driving. There have been occasions when it continued dinging well after the ignition was turned off. We have had it in the shop and 'fixed' a few times. The fix sometimes lasted a week or two. Sometimes, it only lasted a couple of days. We were never able to pinpoint or predict when the malfunction would occur. …”
NHTSA complaint #10307991, filed 2010-02, 49,000 miles“The driver side seat belt does not buckle into the latch. There's a metal piece inside the latch blocking it from sliding in and snapping in. This started happening a few days ago, preventing me from driving the van since I can't use my seat belt.”
NHTSA complaint #11217694, filed 2019-06“Front passenger seat belt latch failure. When attempting to fasten my seatbelt it will not catch and lock. It usually takes several attempts to fasten seatbelt before it will engage and lock. I listed the last time it occur; however, this has been going on for about a year now.”
