What 1992 Chevrolet Caprice owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Airbag and brakes failed, and caused serious injuries. Two people were thrown into dashboard,windshield, when seat belts failed to hold, driver never took foot off of brakes, airbag (deploy sensor) on ground, car is in backyard if you want to see! I now find out there was 9 (problems), recalls, two on ABS!.
Belt retractor spring is wearing through plastic casing, causing complete failure of the seatbelt locking mechanisim.
Front driver, and passenger seat belts recoil spring keep wearing through the plastic housing that holds it in place, causing the seat belts not to retract. The dealer has been contacted.
While driving my caprice, I pulled at the seat shoulder belt to readjust its position. It released, allowing all the belt material to be loosely held around me. I am not an athletic female and did not pull hard. I contacted gm. They stated that although seat belts are safety devices, they are only guaranteed to function during the warranty period or 36,000 miles. They said I was responsible to pay to have the seat belts replaced and would not have assumed any liability had a wreck occurred when the seat belt failed. The case number at gm is 990281010. I re-filed the complaint this week. I also discussed the issue with gm in december.
When using the driver's front & the passenger left rear seat belts, the retractors would fail to work properly. The seat belts would stay out & would not retract backwards to the original position.
Owner found that seat belt latchs will open if slapped.
The seat belt retractor on the passenger's side is broken. The belt will not retract back into the mechanism. The problem has not been corrected.
Driver/pass shoulder/lap belts assemblies inoperative, won't retract into assembly, belts have extended fully.
The drivers side seatbelt not longer retracts. Please describe.
