| I was driving my 2007 chevrolet silverado on a highway at approximately 65 mph during a light rain shower when there was a loud bang sound similar to a shot gun blast and the seatbelt pre-tensioners pulled myself and my passenger hard back into the seats. the hazard lights began flashing immediately and the airbag sensor light came on. contacted onstar to run a diagnostic and they showed there was a collision detected which fired the seat belt pre-tensioners. there was no collision, not even a bump in the road that caused this. this was a very startling event that easily could have caused a panic reaction and an accident. there was a smell of spent gunpowder in the cabin of the vehicle after this occurred. we unlatched our seat belts to relieve the pressure against our bodies and noticed they would not retract or pull back out. they are now useless. the injury was a bruise to my left collar bone where the seatbelt retracted. the vehicle is now not safe to drive since the seat belts don't work and for fear of the airbags deploying. *tr | |||

| The passenger seat belt locks in position to where the passenger cannot move and will tighten more until the seatbelt is removed and reattached. this is having to be done numerous times while the vehicle is in motion. the dealer has replaced the belt 3 times but has not corrected the problem. gm is now saying that the belt is designed that way because of car seats possibly being placed in that position. their other answer was to add a seatbelt extension to help the problem. this moves the belt to a very unsafe position on the passenger body. the connection of the lap belt and the shoulder belt is almost in the middle of the passenger body pushing the shoulder belt over the arm rather than the shoulder. we will not use this device. this has not caused an accident or injury but if the passenger is removing their belt every 30 min. while the vehicle is in motion it could have bad results. *tr | |||
