general problems of the 2002 GMC Envoy

Passenger front seat belt locks automatically as soon as you buckle up. It will not unlock, the only way to fix it is to unbuckle and re buckle then it locks again. Very uncomfortable to ride in the front passenger seat.

I was in an accident and hit on broadside on the passenger side and driver front corner. The air bags did not go off. They say service soon. The seat belt hurt me as well. It did not lock. I was injured with a torn labrum, back and neck injuries. Head too. I was moving and I was hit on the drivers side and then pushed into another car. I was on a city street. 14 mile near mount 7-22.

1: passenger seat belt likes to suffocate my passengers until they release rhe seat belt and rebuckle. 2: both dim headlights went out, checked relays, fuses, and bulbs nothing has worked. Then found out my 2 brake lights are out along with the dims and not sure what is causing this problem.
