#1 - safety issue of the passenger rear door's lock will not lock/unlock (button will not go up and down) to be able to get in or out of car from the back seat - the 'motor'? can be heard engaging when either the door lock/unlock button is pressed or the key fob is pressed to lock/unlock - but the button is stuck in a position that you cannot pull it up to get in or out of the car. ------ #2 - safety issue of the back seat safety belts near door continues to twist within an area that cannot easily be gotten to, causing the safety belt to not be able to be pulled out or retract - making them unable to be used, as they are jammed and cannot fit around a person to lock into the clasp to hold them into the back seat.

The rear seat belts have been replaced several times because they have failed to retract. The vehicle has a little over 50,000 miles.
On Tuesday March 20th, 2018 the 2015 Chevrolet Trax in which I was a front seat passenger was stuck from behind by a 2012 Dodge ram full size pick up truck. The seat belt that was restraining me failed to restrain the forward motion of my body at impact. The seat belt did not tighten up, it allowed my body to be propelled forward unrestrained. I suffered a neck injury and was also diagnosed with concussion type symptoms at the er. The vehicle was at a complete stop waiting for oncoming traffic to pass when it was stuck in the rear passenger side by the pick up traveling at an unknown speed.
