The car is falling apart, interior is falling apart, example seat belts on the driver's side is not in tact, the passenger chair on the right side frame is broken, air conditioner has gone out and we needed to install a new airconditioner, the brakes have been replaced twice already, I guess every nine months the car needs a new brake change, the chrysler credit corp has never given us a receipt on how much more to pay and when we call them up, they would not tell us how much more to go for the payments, they also know that since we purchased this car from the very first day this vehicle has been in and out of the shop for repairs. Then they would change constantly where the payment should go. I just wished they would stop that. It is like a house loan, we have changed mortagager four times and this is getting very stressful. Can you please help us with this matter.
1996 Chevrolet Cavalier seat belts complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
This is in regard to the placement of the seat belts in the back seat of the cavalier. When used in conjuction with infant car seats. All the infant seat manufacturers have issued warnings against using any of their seats with cars where the seat belt is anchored forward at the crease, which is the case with the 96 cavelier. I was told to contact my vehicle manufacturer, who then told me to talk to the seat manufacturer, getting me no where at all. Indeed the only advice I could get was to tighten it as much as I could and it would probably be alright. There are no probability nor should there be when we deal with the life of a child. I find it absolutely unacceptable that there is no way to safely transport my child due to the anchoring of the belt. I can't afford to go and buy a new car. It's bad enough that in the cavalier infant cannot be placed in the middle of the rear seat due to the hump. But on top of this, to place the seat belts so that no seat will work as they were meant to. There is no excuse for this.
