| On 9/24/2012 at around 5 pm my wife and daughter were at the navarro county college to see a teacher, my daughter who had just had mayjor surgery got locked into the front passanger side seat belt. after 10 minutes and 2 sercurity gaurds and 2 nice gentlemen tried all they could they could not get my daughter seatbelt to come unbuckled so they had to cut her out of the seat belt. this is a seriouse incedent that needs to be addressed , when i called the local dealer in ennis he said oh its no big deal ! he wasen't the one who just had surgery on her arm and was stuck in a seatbelt. i want someone to call me back on this! i think chevy should let people know this can happen at any time. i also think chevy should pay for the repairs | |||
