What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? driver side seat belt tongue an buckle. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? many drivers will continue long travels home or to a dealer rather than contact a tow truck. A decision that can risk their lives. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? no has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? no were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? no I meet with solid mechanical resistance when I attempt to insert my driver side seat belt tongue into it's buckle. I can not detect any foreign object that would prevent the seat belt from latching. Now I cannot legally drive my vehicle in the state of illinois without a secure seat belt. I plan to call my local dealer in the morning.

Have read that this has happened with other 2007 chevy silverado’s and about the same mileage 69,000. Can’t find any recall for the problem but believe it could cause a death under the right conditions like if happened in heavy traffic. It shakes you up for awhile. If this has been reported before why hasn’t a recall been issued? hope this report helps prevent any serious future incidents.

Driving down a paved road at apx 40 miles an hour and heard a loud sound like a shot gun going off, my driver side seat belt clamped down and the flashers on the truck turned on. Startled I pulled over and had to struggle to get the seat belt off. Had to shut off and restart vehicle, now seat both driver and passenger side won't work, they are locked in position.

Moving my truck from the back yard to the front yard, traveling less than 3 mph, no one on the passenger side. The passenger side air bag deployed first and then about 2 seconds later the drivers side airbag deployed. The chevy emblem on the steering wheel embedded itself into my right hand nearly breaking my thumb. After coming to stop, I noticed the seat belt pretensioners on both sides had also been deployed and they are now locked up tight. The truck did not hit anything. I say it like this because the Chevrolet dealership would not believe me and told me it was impossible and that it was my fault. I want my truck fixed because I no longer have any safety features. Chevy said they will fix it for $4,000. 00. I say the control module went bad and it is their fault and it should be fixed for free.

I work for the missouri department of natural resources. We own a 2007 chevy silverado. While this vehicle was sitting, parked, with the ignition off, the seat belt retractor unit unexpectedly exploded causing both seatbelts to instantly retract and lock up. There were no injuries, but one of our staff was standing directly next to the truck with the door open when this happened. He said the loud explosion sounded like a gunshot.
As I shifted my position in the seat slightly on the front passenger side the seat belt locked & I tried to pull it a little it became locked. I tried to get it to release instead it began to even tighter and began to put a lot of pressure on my chest I panicked and had to grab for the release latch as it continued to struggle to breath, once I got to belt off , I had to re-adjust it & secure it again this became a issue that I felt needed to be reported to gm by which I open the glove box and located their number from the owners manuel an filed a verble complaint . I called back several times as each event happened to leave what I thought would be a paper trail but they never did any thing about it it continues to be a ongoing issue that gm want to brush off , so I feel necessary to file this en light of how gm is putting our lives at risk over money, we'll not be taken advantage of ever again ; dedicated owners "no-more".
