| Seat Belt problems |
Since we purchased our 2022 Acadia 6/24/2022 we have had the warning "service safety restraint system" pop up randomly. We have mentioned it numerous times over the years when the vehicle has been in for routine service at our local dealership. They have never been able to determine the cause as no service code ever shows up for them. Today in addition to the warning the red air bag warning light also lit up briefly. The warning has popped up 2x in the last 2 weeks again with today being the only time we noticed the red light as well. We are now more concerned about the safety of our vehicle. (we will be on vacation now through 8/25 & would be available after that date for any contact).
The contact owns a 2022 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that the rear passenger side seat belt and driver's side rear seat belt failed to fully extend smoothly while passengers were attempting to buckle the seat belt, or while attempting to secure a car seat inside the vehicle. The contact stated that while pulling the seat belt from the retracted position, the seat belt locked up. The contact had to release the seat belt and then attempt again to securely buckle the seat belt. The contact stated that the rear passenger’s seat belt retractor failed to lock in place while securing the car seat. The contact stated that the belt was very loose. The contact stated that the driver's side rear seat belt was also difficult to secure the car seat. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that both seat belt units needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 42,745.
This is about my brand new Acadia. One of the seatbelt locks of the second row is missing. I did report the issue to the GMC local dealer and they’re to replace the missing lock, however, I was expecting to get GMC to take immediate action as this is a major safety concern. I have received no communication back from them yet. I’ve got the vehicle in tijuana mexico and typically drive it in both California USA and baja California mexico.
Passenger side seat belt does not buckle. The receiver piece for the buckle gets jammed and does not latch. My wife and I just had a baby and we are concerned about all the seat belts now, not sure if the others will give out as well.
