Seat Belt Problems of GMC Yukon - part 1

The seatbelt latch for the middle seat in the third row will not latch. Big safety concern when 8 people are riding because that seatbelt cannot be used. We have not yet taken it to a dealer. We rode with 8 passengers and did not see any warning lights when that person was not buckled.

I was in a head-on collision (t-bone) going over 40 mph. Despite the severity of the collision no airbags deployed and both front seatbelts failed. Error codes: b0052:00 deployment commanded; b0015:04 driver seat belt buckle tensioner deployment loop open; b0022:04 passenger seat belt buckle tensioner deployment loop open. I have a police report but it exceeds the 10mb limit.

The third row seat attachment from the seat to the frame has broken. It is a hook type mechanism that holds the entire row of seats to the latch in the floorboard. This car was not in an accident and the seats broke when the vehicle stopped. There should be a recall. Also the back seatbelt was on a recall for this vehicle but doesn't show up anymore. Please restore the recall. Thank you.

Both second row seatbelt retractors have had issues retracting. We had them checked today while our car was in for other issues. Both seatbelt retractors are broken and need replacing ($1600). Without replacing them, the passengers using those seats would be at grave risk in an accident. We are the original owners of the vehicle, our young children are fastened in their booster seats with parental help. There has been no extreme wear and tear or any abuse to the seatbelts.

Both seat belt retractors seem to be failing and something inside the retractor is cutting the seat belt. I had to replace the right seatbelt because it snapped after it was rubbing on the retractor inside the body. Now it seems the left side is having the same issue. The left seatbelt now will not retract and it looks like it's been rubbing also so eventually it will probably break.

The seatbelt on the second row driver side captain chair no longer works. It started not retracting about a year ago and now it won’t retract or pull out so it is stuck and cannot be used. The $85k Yukon is only five years old, seat belts should last longer than that. GMC wants us to pay $500 to fix a safety concern seat belt. I would understand if the vehicle was 10+ years old but we are still less than 100k miles and we just hit 5 years.

Driver seat automatically adjusts while driving particularly when I accelerate from a red light or stop sign. This causes me to not reach the peddles. I have to pull over and reset my seat. Has been doing this for two days. My vehicle is not equipped with the automatic memory seat. My two rear seatbelts in the middle row are always lose they do not retract. This has been going on for a couple of months.

Our rear seat belts no longer retract after unbuckling. We do not know if they will work in the case of an accident as they will not even retract their own weight after unbuckling.

The contact owns a 2016 GMC Yukon xl. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the rear passenger's side seat belt inadvertently tightened around her daughter's stomach. The contact's daughter pressed the seat belt push button and unlatched the seat belt; however, she was unable to remove the seat belt because it seized around her stomach. The contact had to cut the rear passenger's side seat belt to release her daughter. The contact's daughter sustained marks on her stomach from the seat belt, but no medical attention was received. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was offered a discount on the replacement of the rear passenger's side seat belt. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

Service safety restraint system came on my vehicle and I just purchased this vehicle 3 weeks ago.

The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was contacted but provided no additional assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

When attempting to install car seats on the 3rd row, the seat belts do not remain locked after pulled all the way out. Pulling all the way out should activate the alr, but it does not. I am unable to seat belt install on my 3rd row which is required when a child is over 40lbs.

The contact owns a 2005 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at 80 mph in an interstate with her in the passenger seat and her two children in the rear seats, the steering wheel seized inadvertently and the brake pedal was depressed but failed to respond. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle veered off to the left side of the road. The contact stated as her husband was trying to regain control of the vehicle, the tires hit the pavement and the vehicle rolled over 7 times in a ditch, within 180 yards and landed on its passenger side. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact and her husband noticed that the children were no longer in the vehicle and they immediately exited the vehicle through the front driver's side window to search for them. The contact stated that her 12 year old daughter who was sitting in the rear passenger side seat of the second row with a seat belt, was ejected through an unknown window and landed in a bush, 80 yards away from where the vehicle had landed. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign number: 05v163000 (seat belts). The contact's 20 year old son who was sitting in the rear driver seat of the second row with no seat belt, was ejected through an unknown window and landed 50 yards away from where the vehicle had landed. The contact and her family were transported to the hospital with the assistance of emergency units. The contact's son sustained a concussion, swollen knee injury, laceration on the head with 18 staples in the back of his head, 3-4 stiches on his thump and lacerations all over his body. The contact's daughter, who had been airlifted from the first hospital to a second hospital, sustained fractured skull, epidural hematoma, 2 internal brain hemorrhages, an unknown fractured part of the body, 2 dislocated primary teeth , deep laceration on her left hand that required 10 stiches and could lead to permanent nerve damage, deep laceration on her torso that required 8-10 staples. The contact's husband sustained a dislocated.

The side air bags on the passenger and driver side front and back deployed while driving down the road. The driver side airbag hit my 19 year old son in the side of the face hard enough to cause his ears to ring. There was not a reason for the air bags to go off spontaneously. He had to pull to the side of the road blindly because he didn’t know if he had been hit by another vehicle. We have filed a complaint with GMC. This could have caused a serious wreck injuring my son or someone else on the road due to the shock and force of the air bags hitting him and the inability to see after they deployed. Yes it is available for inspection.

Friday night. On March 26 while driving on a city highway, after crossing a railroad track- my airbags deployed while approaching a red light occupied with several vehicles. Managed to avoid hitting anything and immediately pulled over in a local grocery store parking lot. That was scary.

Hi, my husband and I just purchased this vehicle. A few days after we took a drive with several passengers. The seatbelt behind the driver's would not automatically click. The passenger had to try several times before the seatbelt locked in place. This happens while driving and also while not driving.

While working on an airbag warning light I encountered 2 distinct problems with my airbag and vehicle system. 1. The main underhood fuse panel on my vehicle has portion of oxidation on the fuses themselves. This oxidation is causing fuses to appear intact but are causing the circuit to open. This was the root cause of my airbag system to not be operating properly. 2. While diagnosing the airbag system, I was cautious about unpluggin the battery during any troubleshooting that I was performing. But, at the end of the diagnosis period and all modules/system were reconnected to electrical mating connectors I reconnected the battery and started the vehicle to cool the interior. The central airbag module which is located in center console was already electrically connected but not mounted. When the module was moved into position and the mounting points of the module touched chassis ground of the vehicle the side curtain airbags and front seat belt squibs deployed. It apperas to me that the ground of the module and the vehicle common wire are not internally connected. This apparently may cause a floating circuit in the airbag module that when chassis ground (exterior mounting surface of the module) has a potential change, the airbags may go off inadvertently. The concern here is that corrosion on older vehicles may cause this chassis ground to be compromised and cause random airbag deployments to occur. Vehicle was stationary. Bodily injury could have occurred if occupant was positioned differently.

The rented 2020 tahoe was stationary. A passenger sitting in the left third row seat became stuck in the seat belt. She was unable to open the seatbelt clasp as it got stuck and failed to unlatch. The more the passenger struggled to unlatch the seatbelt, the progressively tighter it became. Passenger could not disengage the seatbelt clasp by pressing the tiny red button. Three other passengers tried to release the seatbelt and could not. Passenger was trapped with tight seat belt holding her in. Other passengers called emergency personnel who also could not release the ever tightening seat belt. Passenger was released when the ranger cut the seat belt with a seatbelt cutting emergency tool. It was a very scary and dangerous experience. Later, some of our guests figured out that you have to press the tiny red button on the left latch with a piece of the right buckle. A passenger should be able to release the seatbelt by depressing the red button. A passenger cannot even reach the button from the seated position as the button is tiny and cannot accommodate an adult finger to depress it. This is the worst example of engineering I have ever experienced. I am frankly amazed that this design passed any safety tests. Please address the issue before someone is hurt or killed by being trapped in the vehicle and unable to escape.

I have just realized that one of the back seat passenger seat belt (the one at the back of the driver seat) has a delay to get activated when the vehicle is stopped due to an emergency, and in some cas s it does not get activated at all.

Tl- the contact owns a 2018 GMC Yukon. The contact stated while driving 20 mph, when another vehicle impacted the front passenger side of her vehicle, causing her vehicle to roll into a ditch. The contact stated her son (rear third row on the passenger side in a car seat) stated his seat belt holding car seat was not steady while accident. Upon investigation the contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 18v673000 (seat belts). The contact stated no warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated the dashboard and steering wheel air bags did not deploy but the console, side curtain and rear air bags did deploy. The contact sustained internal bleeding and laceration on her liver injuries, her daughter (front passenger) sustained fractured nose and her face had makes from air bag and her son (rear third row on the passenger side in a car seat) sustained laceration on his forehead. The contact stated everyone was transferred by ambulance to seek medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle did not have a front passenger tire and was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to impound lot. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired as of yet. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 26,755. Dp.

Tail/brake lights failed causing a safety concern. Took vehicle in to GMC dealer for repair. Left tail light (actually the entire printed circuit board) was replaced, right is on back order. Vehicle out of factory warranty and even though we had an extended bumper to bumper warranty, the work was not covered. This is a frequent issue, I have discovered on line, according to many owners of GMC suvs and trucks between the 2015 and 2018 models. Cost of repair including both tail lights is 1617. 05. GMC supported me by covering 600. 00 of the cost so I paid 1017. 05 out of pocket for 2 tail lights that should not have failed. I have only 24554 miles on the vehicle and have never had an accident. Additional to that, the 2 front seat belts are fraying which may lead to weakness eventually causing a safety issue. I want GMC to cover all costs related to repair of these two problems. There should be a recall regarding both. Seat belt problem has been on going for months and the tail light thing just happened on Monday, June 17, 2019.

While entering parking lot of a walmart store, the front sensors did not show an object (while in blind area of windshield and door post). Driver hit concrete base of street light in parking lot going about 10 miles per hour in speed. Air bags did not deploy nor did seat belt tighten to restrain driver. Driver's body was thrown into the steering wheel with right arm taking the full impact. Driver suffers a broken sternum, torn bicep tendon, severely dislocated right shoulder, torn rotator cuff tendons, torn muscle fibers from elbow, broken wrist and torn tendons on back of hand.

Drivers side seatbelt buckle unlatches at random times without being touched. Driving or stationary makes no difference. Passenger side seatbelt will not latch. There appears to be a piece missing inside the buckle.

Had an accident in 2018 air bags did not deploy and when tried to stop and pushed on my brake pedal, it was like it froze and I was still moving. I was driving 37mph on a city street when the accident happened.

The shoulder straps on the 2 outboard 2nd row seat belts are frayed. I took the vehicle to my GMC dealer today and he informed me that seat belts are only covered by the 36 month/36000 mile warranty, I was shocked to hear this. My vehicle has 57626 miles on it. I believe the design of the seat belt is faulty. What is obviously occurring is the seat belt buckle is rubbing against and through the shoulder strap when the belt is in the retracted position. I am concerned about the integrity of the belts, but I contend that GMC should be responsible to correct a faulty design. I highly doubt this condition is unique to my vehicle. I have attached 2 photos of the passenger side belt. The belt on the driver's side has the identical condition. Thank you.

Seat belt system seem to be defected. Air bag are not functioning properly.

Tl- the contact owns a 2015 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that the passenger seat belt latch detached the seat belt independently. The failure occurred without warning.

Upon, inspection the contact stated they did not see anything inside of the buckle. The vehicle was repaired however the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 93,000. Kh.

The driver's seatbelt will not lock. The driver is unable to wear a seatbelt while driving. This is a huge safety concern for me.
