Seat Belt Problems of Chevrolet Uplander

The front passenger seat belt is frayed. When I went to the gm dealer to have it replaced I was advised that was not possible that the belt is no longer available. The seat belts are required by law (a safety item) so I doubt that they are allowed to discontinue. When I looked online I found gm parts on several websites and also this belt available for purchase. So why is a dealer informing people that they cannot be replaced? this vehicle only has 81,000 miles on it.

The driver side seat belt does not buckle into the latch. There's a metal piece inside the latch blocking it from sliding in and snapping in. This started happening a few days ago, preventing me from driving the van since I can't use my seat belt.

Seat belt pretensioner deployed w no impact belt is slack . Maufacturer knows of problem and has issued a TSB stating that its because sticky liquids have spilled into mechanism,which is impossibe. The TSB is just a smokescreen. Im sure alot of cars have this condition but chevy unwilling to acknowledge.

The drivers side seat belt started going slack about a year ago but I could take up the tension by hand after I buckled the belt. This was just an annoyance until a month ago when the srs light appeared on the dash. The mil was intermittent at first , leading me to believe that the malfunction was likely to resolve itself. Unfortunately the mil is now always on. I took the vehicle to a qualified technician whom I trust and he put the vehicle on the scanner. He informed me that I did indeed have a "hard" code. His computer tells me that my left front pretensioner deployment loop is open. (code # dtc b 0065). I haven't yet taken the vehicle to the dealer to see how this resolves.

The abs light is on in my van, I have been told that the airbag could deploy at any time or that in the event of a crash that it won't deploy at all. I purchased this vehicle used but this problem started in 2009. The light will go off occasionally, but only for a few miles. This should be fixed by Chevrolet, however the dealer has stated that it is and was not covered under warrenty.

My 7 year old daughter was sitting in her booster seat with her seatbelt on, in the rear passenger seat of our 2005 chevy Uplander. She leaned forward to pick something off the floor, and the seatbelt ripped out of the seat.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Uplander. While driving 20 mph, the safety belt mechanism failed in the back middle row seats. The seat belt became wrapped around the passenger's neck. He was unable to get the seat belt to extend and release. The contact drove to the nearest service station and a mechanic reached under the seat, removed the seat belt bolt, and released the passenger's neck. The passenger received minor bruises to his neck. The contact will notify the manufacturer. The current and failure mileages were 45,000. Updated 7/9/09 updated 07/17/09.

At approximately 40,000 miles, had the drivers safety belt replaced under warranty because the no-seat belt alarm/light kept coming on while driving with the seat belt on and properly placed. At 65,000 miles, same issue is occurring again.

: when the consumer's child was riding in child seat on passenger side middle row seat, the child was able to pull vehicles seat belt over his head and around his neck. This resulted in strangulation. Updated 5/10/2006 -.

The passenger automatic door on the drivers side opens without warning while driving, it has shut on my daughter, and it is misaligned. It is unpredicatable as to when this will happen. I have had it in for service 11 times just for the door. My stability and traction system has been in 3 times, and my whole steering component has been replaced. I am concerned about the door the most as I have two children.
