Seat Belt Problems of GMC Yukon - part 2

The plastic surround around my seat belt is defective. The plastic tabs have broken from normal usage and the surround now impedes either latching or unlatching, and the seat belt comes unlatched when it appears to be properly latched. Other vehicles of the same year/model have the same issue, and the same issue has occurred on multiple seat belts on the same vehicle. This is clearly a safety issue, because (1) the seat belt either appears to be latched when it is not; or (2) the seat belt will not unlatch when the release is depressed, preventing occupants from egressing the vehicle quickly if needed. The tabs holding the plastic surround are too small and allow the buckle to flex and jam, or they break off and interfere with the latch mechanism.

Left rear seat belt fails to extract. Was told by dealer that the lock bar was seized up and could not be released and that the entire seatbelt would have to be replaced. This is only a 6 year old vehicle and at 6'4 270 I don't have anyone ever sit behind me. This is probably the least used seatbelt in my Yukon. . Safety devices such as seat belts & air bags should never fail ever ! if they do they should be replaced at no charge due to poor design. I just thank god it didn't malfunction during an accident. GMC's seat belt design needs to be redesigned.

The dashboard is cracked in three different places. The first cracked happened at about 24,000 miles right above the steering well. The second crack is on the passenger side leading up to the passenger airbag. That happened at about 50,000 miles. The third crack is in front of the steering wheel it travels upward to meet the first crack making it into a y shaped. This happened at about 55,000 miles. The car is parked in a garage most of the time. The passenger side seat belt buckle in the middle row and the middle seat belt buckle in the third row both fell apart making the buckles unusable.

A panasonic dvd player, factory equipment and install, is set behind the front passenger seat and 1/3 way into the rear passenger seat. It hangs down about 4". My 4 year old son is unable to get into his car seat without hitting his head. I hit my head while entering the car and received a concussion. I have permanent brain damage and disabilities now. GMC is aware of the safety issue, (dealer rep) but no recall has been issued. The style of dvd player was changed to a smaller size and set in the center front. What are the head room standards? please! the dealer admits fault, but is only willing to give me a "good deal" on a trade in. Failed components did not have my issue. Selected another to send complaint.

I own a 2002 chevy tahoe, and I'm in charge of servicing three, 2002 and 2003 GMC Yukons for my place of employment. The middle row seats in all of these have seatbelt issues. These are extremely expensive to fix or replace and all four vehicles that I deal with have at least one of the shoulder belts in that middle row seat that either wont come out or won't retract.

My 2007 GMC Yukon seatbelts in 3rd row of seats locks up when car is in motion. If my child is in their carseat it locks them where they cant move and breath. They cry and I have to pull over on highways, etc. To unlock seatbelt all the way back. Even unhooking from the child safety seat. It is very dangerous and is a safety concern. GMC referred me to you all instead of addressing the issue. Seems to be a seatbelt defect that needs a recall for Yukons.

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Yukon xl 1500. The contact stated that the seat belts go into lock mode and do not provide any slack when they are pulled completely out. The failure could result in choking of a small child or a fatality should the brakes have to be applied immediately. The contact feels that there should be some sort of release button; however, the dealer and GMC stated that there was no accessible release button for the seat belts. The failure mileage was 29,000 and current mileage was 29,000. Updated 3/5/08 the consumer stated the belts locks the person in unless retracted completely and the vehicle needs an accessible release button. Updated 03/05/08.
