Front Seat Belt Anchorage problems of the 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette

No summary listed for abov evehicle.

My family and I were traveling when there was an explosion under the front passenger seat. There were sparks and smoke and the smell of something burning. I lost control temporarily and then I pulled over and we all got out of the car. The instrument panel went haywire meaning that some lights went out while other lights came on. The "airbag" and "service engine soon" lights came on. The compass when out. I took the car in to be serviced. At that time I was informed of another car like ours was brought in for the same problem. I was later told(1 week) the computer told the satbelt retractor to explode. They claim to have fixed the problem however, I feel that the safety of my family eand I are in serious jeopardy if we continue to drive this car.

Our seatbelt has not worked since we drove off the lot with our "new" vehicle. This poses a threat because we have five children, which means one child will not be strapped in during each ride. We have been to three different dealerships over the past three years and each report on all 16 visits that the seatbelt was replaced, however, it has not worked since day one. Gm customer service was contacted as well as the dmv, and attorney general. This is my only vehicle and I need satisfaction! I feel like the dealerships won't fix this problem until my extended warranty is expired! how long does it take to fix a seatbelt????.

Consumer stated that once child safety seat was installed seat belt retracted, allowing the child safety seat to be removed. When trying to reinstall the child safety seat the seat belt remained locked, making it impossible to reinstall the child safety seat once it had been removed.
