NHTSA complaint #10149119, filed 2006-01, 99,000 miles“Consumer states that the locking plate is not locking correctly when the consumer is driving. Contacted dealer. Ts the consumer also states that the buckle engages into fixed recess/socket, but easily slips out of latching mechanism in the fixed socket.”
NHTSA complaint #8021049, filed 2002-10, 86,000 miles“My 1999 Pontiac has a very weak retract spring on the left side front seat belt, I must be very careful to make sure that the seat belt is inside the car when I close the door. The seat belt can get caught in the door preventing the door from properly closing and locking when the car is parked, damage and soil of the belt could make the belt usless. I question the abilliy of the belt to operate properly in the case of a crash if the return spring is or has become weak.”
