Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Both front seat belts do not cinch occupants. Belts are currently fully extended and lay limp over occupant shoulder. Symptoms mimic seatbelt problem experienced with my 1984 camaro previously owned which was recalled for that condition. Dealer contacted for replacement states GM's position on this is that vehicle is out of warranty and my financial responsibility. Unknown at what mileage failure occured; vehicle purchased used from Gmc dealership, questioned looseness & told at time of purchase condition normal, that belts sometimes do not cinch until jiggled, dealership refuses to replace. …”
