| Our seatbelt has not worked since we drove off the lot with our new vehicle. this poses a threat because we have five children, which means one child will not be strapped in during each ride. we have been to three different dealerships over the past three years and each report on all 16 visits that the seatbelt was replaced, however, it has not worked since day one. gm customer service was contacted as well as the dmv, and attorney general. this is my only vehicle and i need satisfaction! i feel like the dealerships won't fix this problem until my extended warranty is expired! how long does it take to fix a seatbelt????*ak | |||
