2000 GMC Jimmy Seat belts Problems

“U.s. Department of transportation national highway traffic safety administration office of defects investigation nvs-210, 400 7th street, sw I am writing your agency because I feel there is a serious automotive safety issue I feel you are responsible for vigorously addressing. I recently bought a used 2000 Jimmy (59,000) miles and while browsing your web sight I thought I would check the recall history of the model. I found that there were two safety recall campaigns that seemed to directly apply to the car I purchased. …”

“Rollover- on a u-turn truck overturned! Destroyed truck- could have killed someone easily. Passenger side crushed. 46,000 miles. 4 sets of brakes on this truck. They are horrible, never again buy a Gmc. Tires are equally bad.”

“The 13 year old in the back seat behind the passenger was buckled. The impact happend on the passenger side behind the driver's seat (so opposite of the child). Some how he was suspened by the seatbelt in the back of my trunk. He bent the head rest in half, and the seat was still in place. He still was buckled and some how he ended up in the trunk. He is alive and has a few bruises and seatbelt burns around his stomach area, but it is a miracle his back and neck are okay.”

“I own a 2000 Gmc Jimmy and some were recalled for their seat belts and I am experiencing the same problems but I was tolled mine was not included in the recall. (seat belts not tightening while one is buckled in and seat belts are so loose they get tangled when you unbuckle there is also one belt that keeps tightening after being buckled to the point of cutting the skin.) I bought this Jimmy this year 2010.”

“Consumer feels vehicle has the same problems as in recall 01v364000. The consumer wanted to know if 2 recalls he discovered had been performed on his vehicle. Gm customer service would not release any information to the consumer because he was not the original owner.”
