The contact received NHTSA recall 05v163000. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and the repair work was performed. This has left a loop on the seat belt, and the contact's small children are putting there hands through it. Their hands get stuck, and the pulling to get their hand out caused rug burn. She contacted general motors, and they offered to cut the loop and leave the extra material in the vehicle. The contact wanted the loop to be removed completely.

Seat belt malfunction!! since the purchase of my 2001 Tahoe. . . (new) the back right passenger seatbelt continues to lock up. It has been replaced and "repaired" several times to no avail. I believe there is a defect somewhere! I also have 2 friends with the same exact problem! same seat belt. I have 2 small children and this could be dangerous. Is gm waiting for an accident to happen?.

I had put my 6 year old son in the rear seat behind the driver, and when I went to fasten his seat belt around his booster seat the assembly that holds the seat belt in came completely off, it is a 4-5 inch bolt that screws into a mount at the bottom of the seat. It does not go back in, and the seat is now useless as there is no operable seatbelt.

While driving down rote 17m in monroe NY two of the passengers complained that their seat belts locked up on the again. These the 2 females now in the 2nd row seats who were injured by the seat belt failure in the 3rd row seats just one week prior. Both girls had the factory adjust on so the seat belt sat properly on their shoulders. The seat belt only loosened up after being released from the buckle. Chevy refuses to repair/replace the seat belts/tahoe. At this point this have made failures of all 6 seat belts with shoulder straps. This time the girls were sitting on opposite sides of the Tahoe as compared to the 6/12/2005 incident and were lucky not to have received bruising on the opposite shoulders as last time.

My chevy Tahoe was being driven back from watching the nascar race in the poconos PA when driving along interstate 84 two of the third row passengers complained that their shoulders hurt from the seat belts not moving. The seat belts locked in place and only would loosen up when the seat belt was released from the clip. Before passenger female girls ages 12 & 11 used the adjustment straps in the vehicle so the belt would sit properly on their shoulders. After stopping to eat. The 11 year old was unable to strap in again since the belt would not extend the 6 inches more to get it to lock into place. Both girls did receive bruising to there shoulder. Gm says there is nothing wrong with the sea belts in the Tahoe and refuses to fix or replace the Tahoe/seat belts.

Rear middle seat belt will not retract and therefore is not safe for use. This has been serviced yet still hangs up frequently. Have to remove panel to get access to apply temporary fix.

We own a 2005 chevy trail blazer. Our 11-year old son fell asleep and lay down with shoulder-harnessed seat belt on in the back seat - passenger side. Upon arriving at our destination he was awakened. At this point he sat up, released the latch, an tried to get out. The seat belt was twisted around his waist and as he tried to untangle the belt the ratchet got significantly tighter. When I realized the problem developing and got around to him the belt was so tight that I could not untangle him or slip him through the loop. He was in severe pain. He had either turned in his seat, or sat up on the wrong side of the shoulder strap, or something else. Not wanting any injury to my son's back or any internal organs I had to cut the belt. It was about 12:30 am. I have since been told that for shoulder harnessed belts, when the shoulder strap is pulled all the way out as for use with child safety seats this engages the ratcheting mechanism. I believe that there needs to be a "release button" for emergency use on the back of the column which houses the shoulder strap. Since the brakes were not engaged I did not understand why the shoulder strap would not loosen.

Vehicle was involved in accident, the force to the side impact possibly caused the seat bracket to bend causing the seat buckle attachment bar to pop free from the holding pin, this resulted in the back seat consumer to somersault over the back seat injuring his foot. Consumer feels this is an unsafe design.
