1) rear driver side seatbelt would not retract when unbuckled. Seatbelt had to be manually fed back in so that the belt didn't dangle or get shut in the door. Repaired at dealership on June 18, 2020 at roughly 55-56,000 miles. 2) truck is currently shaking when driving and has tendencies to shake violently at times. I'm currently just shy of 59,000 miles on the truck and has been noticeable within the last 1,000 miles. Researching it appears it has a common name of "chevy shake. ".

Need to get driver's seat belt and passenger door lock fixed under warranty. A bad employee at the dealer in July 2010 committed identity theft and open accounts under a different name "frank" fankhauser. Dealer put me on a gm wide blacklist and so frustrating. Have reported to police, but just want to go to another GMC dealer to have fixed. Gm customer service has not helped and keeps calling the first dealer to request their permission and it has been denied. Dealer that committed id theft: ferguson GMC broken arrow, ok 74011 I really like the pickup, but unfair to hold up warranty/safety repairs because of the id theft.

When I bought my used 1998 GMC Sierra 4x4 k1500 truck in 2003 the front passenger seat belt would not work! I took it into gus paulos Chevrolet to have it repaired. They warrenty the defective seat belt since it would not pull out. Thats a 5 yrs old truck so now in 2007 it goes out again, this time they are charging me for it? the service rep said "it only has a three year warrenty". I thought it's a saftey part/ saftey issue and they should flip the bill. What if it failes in a collision? the part is on order so I should be getting the part next week. " I haven't needed it done till now since my daughter is old enough to sit upfront".

2003 GMC Sierra 2500hd crew cab cloth split bench: the shoulder harness seatbelts on all three passenger seats will lock up during normal cruise (no sudden stops or yanks on the belts), and will continue to get tighter and tighter until the occupant must unbuckle the seatbelt and let it completely retract before it can be re-buckled. This will occur on nearly every trip in the vehicle, and has occurred since it was new. This is more than an annoyance, it is a safety hazard since the passengers must unbuckle their seat belts in a moving vehicle. The dealer (jim waldron GMC, davison mi) claims it is simply a design flaw and they can do nothing to correct it. They say that "everyone" with a 2003 Sierra is complaining about it. This problem never occurs on the driver side seat belt. I am seriously concerned for the safety of my passengers in this vehicle that is designed to carry many passengers.
