| Seat Belt problems |
I originally did front end collision repairs on this gm vehicle and I had to originally replace the front passenger seatbelt. I went through 3 apparent good used ones for replacement and all of them have had their fair share of difference from acting up. One of them seemed to work but every now and then the airbag light would come on due to seatbelt. Replaced it with another and frequently the airbag light would come off and on than the last one installed. The 3rd replacement seems to work but airbag light would come on again, not as frequent and would only shut off if seatbelt is pulled and retracted purposely by hand. I am not seeing a short or a wire problem but the seatbelt is not working properly and I believe gm has failed to produce quality front passenger seatbelts. Even all three of the seatbelt would not fully retract on their own without pushing it in by hand.
Gm is doing the recall for chafing affecting the steel cable (14v266000 or 14187) the rubber sleeve my dealer installed is aggressively chafing worse than before, even on the passenger side, which barely gets any use. It appears the fix is worse than before . . . The plastic around the seat is easily tearing away the sleeve (after only a few weeks) and will directly affect the seat belt. Someone could get killed, and people are probably not checking since they thought the recall solved the problem. . . I have photos of the problem is you want, and I called gm on 6/17/14 . . . 800-462-8782 . . A customer service rep told me they can only keep fixing it this way. I asked her to escalate myreport since the fix could (also) get someone killed and she said she can't escalate this type of problem. What?????.
