On saturday, january 18, 2020, I, [xxx], entered the stated vehicle and attempted to ?buckle-up.? I grasped the seat belt.. And proceeded to pull into place.... To my astonishment the end of the seat belt attached to the vehicle came right out of the seat. See attached photo. Unfortunately, at that instant I was unaware that a voluntary recall was issued on this problem on april 15 , 2016, for over 800,000 similar vehicles! I service my silverado at the purchasing dealer since purchase date of 06/17/14. My question is why did the current repair protocols not find & repair this potentially catastrophic safety problem? We as consumers place all our trust in the vehicle manufacturers and on-going certified service centers. Thank god that this explanation did not cost me or my family injury or death. Please investigate this claim and possibly make the necessary changes to require manufacturers to actually do something positive to a known safety defect. We all put our trust in this system! Thank you. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Both driver side and passenger side seatbelts in the back seat will not retract. When passengers pull out the seatbelts to buckle themselves in, the seatbelt then has slack and will not retract at all. This makes it very unsafe for passengers and children riding in the back seat.

And seat belts lock when going about 50 miles per hour. And the air condenser cought on fire. Now when I take it to the dealership they say they can not diagnose the problem.

Take my 2014 vehicle in for service on a broken pretension cable. This was on recall in 2016. I was told the broken cable was not on recall. After reading the call info, I called the dealer and was told I needed to call chevy corp. Chevy corp said its not an issue. I believe the cable is broken because the recall (fix) did nothing. Now I have to pay and put a small claims against chevy.. I truly believe this recall was not done properly and the cable will break on all silverados. I have pictures of the broken cable and will have the parts for future inquiries. Please advise what I should do next.
We have a crew cab and the back seat passenger and driver side seat belts became nonfunctional after we had had the vehicle for only one year. We used the seat belts in a normal fashion. It does not seem reasonable that the belts and retractors would break after normal use for one year. The front seat belts were recalled and worked on, so we are wondering if the back seat belts should be recalled also.
I bought this truck one month ago and was told there were no recalls. When I went in for service three recalls were found. I was lied to by the car dealer and I feel my life is in danger.
The seat belt does not tighten up to your lap or shoulder after being snapped to the stationary piece. The belt continues to do this even after reporting to dealership cook chevrolet in craig colorado and taking there for them to repair.they gave me a 400 estimate and did not repair I assume this would be found on most of these vehicles from poor materials, I will repair this issue myself since I cannot trust chevrolets workmanship.
