Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Oldsmobile Bravada based on all problems reported for the Bravada.
97 olds Bravada retractable seat belts have never worked properly, now do not work on either driver or passenger side. Seatbelts do not "catch" during collision and just keep pulling out of housing. I have been told by numerous dealerships that this is a chronic problem with these cars, which probably also include chevy blazers and GMC jimmy's. Gm did a recall in '04 which I was promised would resolve the problem, but in a recent incident, my seatbelt did not "catch" and I hit my chin on the steering wheel. Dealer has verified that both front seat belts are nonfunctional. This problem cannot be easily recognized until there is an accident. How many Bravada, blazer, and jimmy owners are driving around with their seatbelts buckled, not knowing that they do not work and will not protect them in a crash? how many complaints has NHTSA gotten, wrongly assuming those were repaired by the recall?.

Passenger seat belt locks into place with little or no passenger movement, cannot be released without removing seatbelt completely and retracting completely. Also own a 2002 Chevrolet trailblazer w/ same problem on passenger side restraint. Passenger must remove seat belt every few minutes just to breathe or tuck shoulder strap behind them. This is a serious flaw on the passenger side seat belt on all 2002 Bravada's, trailblazers and envoys. Dealer has no fix at this time except to try a seat belt extender to change passenger side angle on restraint belt to see if it helps. This should be a serious recall issue. Will file seperate complaint for 2002 Chevrolet trailblazer also just purchased. This defect can cause death or serious injury should a crash occur while passenger is unrestrained while retracting and reapplying restraint.
