What owners say
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.
