Front Seat Belt Anchorage Problems of Chevrolet Tahoe

Seatbelt on passenger's side locks up where it cannot be used. This happens intermittently. Took vehicle to dealer, and dealer replaced seat belt. But problem still exists. Consumer states the seat belt would not come out of retractor at all and also the seat belt locked against the seat.

My 16 year old son was injured resulting from a side collision to our 1999 chevy Tahoe. The Tahoe was struck by a pickup truck traveling approximately 55 - 60 mph. The pickup struck the Tahoe on the driver's side of the vehicle behind the rear passenger door. The side window in the cargo area was broken by the impact and the Tahoe spun around. All four occupants of the Tahoe were wearing safety belts with shoulder harnress. My son was sitting in the back seat on the passenger side of the vehicle. The force of the impact appears to have caused the 60/40 rear seat to shift a fraction of an inch allowing the seatbelt harness to release where it attaches below the seat. When the seatbelt came apart he was thrown to the rear of the vehicle and his foot went through the broken side rear window. He sustained a severe laceration to his left foot severing tendons, ligaments and nerves. None of the other occupants of the vehicle were hurt as their seatbelts held secure. It appears the attachment which secures the buckle to the smaller rear seat requires a more substantial attaching pin. The 2000 model Tahoe has a bolt and nut that secures the buckle attachment whereas the 1999 model has a small pin with a flimsy press cap holding it in place.

Please be advised that I would like to lodge a complaint regarding the placement of both the driver and passenger seatbelt. I have been burned, on both my left and right- side upper-back area, by the metal insert of the seatbelt. It seems that if the sun's positioning happens to shift to the front area of the vehicle, the insert of the seatbelt becomes dangerously hot. I believe this is a serious defect in the vehicle's otherwise superb structure. I would like information on a possible remedy to this matter and look forward to an expedient response.
