 The rear (third row) seat belts randomly lock under non-emergent conditions. the tension on the belt becomes extreme such that the cannot release the belt and requires assistance, resulting in a potentially dangerous situation where the occupant may not be able to egress in an emergency. the situation is made worse by passengers in the third row seat who are adults and/or may be overweight. the manufacturer has modified the third row seat belts in apparent recognition of the problem, but has not chosen to correct the problem in earlier vehicle designs. *tr

 Both front seat female seatbelt connectors in my 2007 chevrolet suburban are not working properly. the drivers side takes several attempts to latch and the passenger side does not latch at all. this is being repaired (part covered by chevy, labor at my expense) to prevent an injury or death in the event of a crash. *tr

 Tl*-the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet suburban. the contact stated that the rear driver and passenger seat belt retractor mechanisms prevents the webbing to be extracted when worn by an occupant. this condition results in tight fitting and the inability to move. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection in which the technician concluded that the failure was a normal characteristic of the vehicle. the failure mileage was 0. the current mileage was 27,000. the vehicle identification number was unavailable.
