| Seat Belt problems |
I recently put the back seats down to put some boxes back there. It is stuck down. I don't know if the seat itself is stuck or if the seatbelt is messed up in there. Either way. I need my seat back up.
Had accident, where I was hit from the front driver side, after that impact I was struck in the rear, which totaled the car. Me and a passage was tossed around like rag dolls. The seat belt on the passage side did not hold in place causing her head to strike the windshield twice, no airbags deployed from side front back none which would of kept her and I from being tossed around, this needs to be brought to someones attention, and a recall we was looking we both have injuries, can someone please advise to why this vehicle was never recalled and checked???? now me and my passage has a road of recovery due to the airbags and seat belts.
I had my backseats laid down to have more room when moving. After two weeks, I tried pulling the seats back into seated position. The double seat will not lift. The middle seatbelt has locked, not allowing it to lift more than about ten inches. No matter how much I try pulling the belt tight to disengage the lock, it will not give.
Tamara recall: the frontal airbags and seatbelt pretensioners failed to deploy during a crash to both the front and rear of my vehicle. All side airbags deployed during the crash. I was stopped behind a vehicle at a red light when a drunken driver slammed into my 2016 Buick Encore. My vehicle was propelled forward into the car in front of me. The shoulder harness of my seatbelt did not lock to restrain me and my frontal airbags did not deploy. My car had no open recalls on it. I did the 2016 recall correction but I don't remember getting notified of the second recall. My cars service has been exclusively at a Buick dealership and don't recall ever being told or receiving any documentation reflecting correction for the 2017 recall. Either way, my car had no open recalls at the time of the crash.
