| SEAT BELTS - FRONT - RETRACTOR | |||
| 07/01/1997 | 100 | 06/01/1997 | |
| The 2 front safety belts dont work properly, if you lean forward the shoulder belt stay loose and don't come back against the passenger, also a rear lap belt which is supposed to be able to retract and lock into place after it is pulled all the way out does not work. i had contacted gm a couple years ago and they said they would make a note of it but would not offer to fix them. i think beings this is a safety issue they should repair it. the belts have been like this ever since we bought the van, it was a used vehicle, we didnt buy it new. i transport children, i have a 5 year old and a 3 month old, so this is very important to me, i have to always make sure they are in one of the working belts. this also leaves the driver at risk, beings the drivers belt doesnt function properly. i am unable to use one of the spots in the back due to the defective belt. if you can help, please contact me @ 314-729-1288 or email me at heywinky@aol.com thank you, maureen wiehage. *ak | |||
