Four problems related to front seat belt anchorage have been reported for the 1998 Chevrolet Venture. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
We were approaching a crash and had to slam on our brakes at 40mph and the seat belt holding our sons car seat broke apart.
While driving 40 mph, consumer was involved in a frontal collision, and drivers shoulder restraint did not restrain driver, resulting in major head injuries.
The safety belt latch has a limited range of motion and doesn't allow for a proper fit for toddler car seats. They have the over the shoulder strap and when you try to securely buckle the seat in place the latch doesn't rotate up far enough to secure the belt. I've tried a couple different seats that would suit our needs perfectly and they can't be used until our child is over 40lbs. The seat we purched is the graco cherished car go, model #8480hg. It sits well in the seat, but can't be latched properly. Is there anything on the market that I could purchase that would allow us to properly secure the toddler/booster seat?.
Second row seat belts replaced several time due to lock up, continue to experience lock up after repairs.
