| Seat Belt problems |
Passenger side seat belt, when in use, will make a clicking noise. At this point you can not move the seat belt out and if you press back into the seat the belt follows and allows no give. The belt must be released, retracted all the way in and pulled back out and rehooked. It may work or you may have to repeat the procedure until it does work. After getting it working in a normal way, while driving along the passenger may move forwarded, the clicking noise and lock up occurs anew and the process must be repeated. I have had no problems with the dealer fixing the problem. It entails him ordering a new belt and installing it. To this date it has been replaced twice and it going out again.
I had a 97 GMC Sonoma that I was going down a dirt road about 30-35 mph and swerved to miss a truck coming on my side of the road and lost traction and flipped over a hill and rolled 3 times and the airbags didnt deploy and the drivers seatbelt snapped .
