I had warranty repairs completed on my 2001 Blazer in November, 2005 that totaled around $2200. I paid a large deductible. The work was done at good Chevrolet in renton, wa
the seat belt simply stopped latching shortly after my vehicle was repaired by gm. . . . . . . . Obviously Chevrolet did not completely fix all repairs covered by the warranty. I need gm to assume responsibility for expenses for the seat belt, because I'm disabled and on social security and could never afford to have a seat belt repaired. I had to coordinate with my dealership for several weeks before repairs could begin. . . This ate up time that could have been useful for fixing the seat belt the warranty repairs were done at good Chevrolet in renton. The seat belt could have been repaired at the same time I haven't had any other repairs done outside the warranty. All repairs to date were covered by the warranty. . . . . . . . . . . . . If the seat belt had just went defective two or three months ago it would have
been covered. . . . . . . . . . . . . . Or if I hadn't been made to wait for approval for repairs from the dealership if it weren't something important
and safety related I wouldn't ask for help!!!! please. . . . . . . . If it were something mundane like the power windows
stopped working or the stereo went haywire, but the seat belt is something I can't just do without!!!!
