1991 Chevrolet Lumina seat belts complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 28 of 28, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Driverside shoulder seatbelt does not fully retract back into door after fastening seatbelt, causing loss of protection.
The shoulder belt retractors on the driver and passenger side of the car have failed. Chevrolet has refused to help fix them, as they say their belts are only good for 36,000 miles, but they are required by law. I have replaced the passenger belt at an out of pocket cost of $160. These belts were subjected to normal use and wear, and I feel the retractor is defective. The belts are useless without a retractor as they hang limp during driving. The failure occured gradually over about 2 weeks and then the retractor stopped working all together. I cannot understand how a law required safety device can be made so badly that chevrolet only guarantees it for 36,000 miles or 3 years. A car lasts a lot longer than 3 years, and its seat belts should also. I have contacted chevrolet and I have a file #990294288 for this case with them. They refused to help in any way. They simply gave me a run around and then said we will not help. I do not want to have to pay another $160 to replace the driver side belt. I was lucky in that my belts failed when I was just getting in the car, but what if it had been a crash. I do not have air bags and am driving a friend's car until I can get this matter resolved. My car is not safe to drive right now because of the faulty belt retractors. Thank you for time and I hope that you can help me.
