My seat belt on the driver side will not latch. The tongue will not insert into the buckle. I reported the problem to gm/ cadillac and was told to visit the local dealer. The representative of the dealer in zanesville, ohio told me the seat belt buckle was no longer available. Since I never use the middle back seat and it has the identical buckle, my suggestion was to remove the seat belt for the middle back seat and use the buckle for my driver's seat. I was told for legal reason they could not do this. So it is ok for me the driver not to have a seat belt when the part is not available through gm but is available in my middle back seat which is never used. I noticed the 91 cadillac deville had a recall for a similar problem.

After short local drive of about 20 miles, I stopped for gas and filled my tank. I was alone in vehicle, no passenger, and when I restarted my car I smelled something burning. In seconds, I observed white smoke pouring out of passenger seat belt retractor. The car immediately filled with smoke. I exited car and ran around car and opened both passenger side doors letting smoke out. The smoke was still coming out and I was still parked at gas pump, so I left the doors opened, got back in the car and moved it to a safer place. By the time I had moved the car, the seat had stopped burning, so I waited a few minutes and drove the car home about five miles. The car had an unbelievable bad smell in it that burned my eyes and gave me a headache. I took the car to my local gm dealer and they repaired the seat by replacing the lumbar switch and switch holder under warranty. My concern is that if this seat could catch fire without anyone even sitting in it, then the drivers seat would even be more at risk. My other concern is that if this fire had started while driving through a city, the speed at which the car filled with smoke would have made it extremely dangerous getting safely off the road. My dealer tried to assure me that it had not happened before and it would be very unlikely to happen again. I still do not trust this vehicle and I will most likely trade it in but I think this problem should be researched by someone other than a gm dealer. I'm certain parts are no longer available.

The front passenger seat belt failed to lock in my 2001 cadillac deville when I hit brakes suddenly my daughter hit the dash and the seat belt did not retract. I called cadillac and the told me that there was no recall on this items which I find hard to believe. Maybe I should file suit before someone gets killed.
