Front Seat Belt Buckle Assembly problem #1

The seat belt on this car has a bar that goes across the buckle. This bar is loose. If twisted in a vertical position it comes off the bracket. It is not a one piece unit like other belts. It is possible that many people have been injured because the bar can fall out an give no restraint. I have spoken to a Chevrolet dealer but they know nothing about this problem.

Front Seat Belt Buckle Assembly problem #2

Seat buckle defective.
