Alleged failure of 2nd row seatbelt alr
The automatic locking retractor (alr) is a feature incorporated in the subject vehicle for locking the webbing to properly secure a child safety seat into a vehicle.this pe was opened based on a gm technical service bulletin stating that with certain child safety seats the webbing may not remain locked.there are no complaints in the odi database and only two complaints to gm.gm's instructions state for the final step in using the webbing lock feature to push and pull the child restraint to be sure it is secure. If the alr is not locked, the user would be fully aware of this condition prior to completing proper installation of the child safety seat in this vehicle.this investigation did not uncover any complaints of the alr inadvertently unlocking while the vehicle is in motion.the emergency locking retractor (elr) feature remains available to lock the retractor in a crash.a safety-related defect has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.accordingly, this investigation is closed.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by the federal safety agency that no safety-related defect exists.the agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.see attached summary for additional information.

What 2000 Chevrolet Suburban owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Vehicle not only has steering, linkage, seat belt, and brake problems as reported, but also accelerator sticks. Was repaired last in the fall of 2002, but as soon as temperature outside got to 60 fahrenheit the petal began to stick again. When you do get pedal to depress vehicle jumps forward rapidly. Does all the time when weather is warm.
Re 2000 chevrolet suburban 4x4. Vehicle has steering difficulties (vehicle can completely change lanes within 2 lines on the road, loose steering at times, steering wheel jumps when turning curves) which were reported to dealer several times. Dealer blamed tires which were not recalled. The jump/pop in steering when rounding curves was said to be due to lack of lubrication upon construction of vehicle-somewhat improved. Steering column still moves (feels loose at times) and feels as though will disconnect or tire rod will break when this happens while driving. At 43,000 miles front end differential had to be repaired, just over every 20,000 miles brake disc seems to need replaced. Vehicle does not go completely into park or gear and sometimes pops out (thought to need linkage adjustment, but vehicle has cable so cannot be adjusted according to repair person). Sometimes (fairly frequently) seat belts still do not completely buckle, they will pop out at various times if they buckle at all(not only with children, but with adults). Vehicle seems very loose to drive and we frequently feel as though we don't have control of our vehicle when driving (intermittently). We feel very unsafe in the vehicle.
Child safety seat does not fit securely due to seat belt in rear middle seat being too long. Dealer contacted. Please add VIN.
While driving at 25 MPH an accident occurred, and seatbelt did not tighten/ airbag did not deploy. . Please provide any further information, and identification number.
While driving, brakes completely failed, resulting in an accident. There were no vehicle warnings. Cause unknown. *ak seat belts did not restrain in accident.
Passenger's seatbelt will tighten up when clicking retractors inside. Consumer had to take seatbelt apart to take it out. He felt like he was in a straight jacket, it was so tight. Dealership was aware of problem.*ak dealer states they have fixed problem, however have not.
When placing child safety seat in driver rear seat seatbelt will unlock from locking mode as soon consumer tightens it. Also, both rear center seat female parts of buckle is too large to accomodate css.*ak
Rear left shoulder belt after being pulled tight will release again. Being repaired at this time. On other two back belt buckles, female part is too large, so child seat cannot be used. Dealer found no solution for this problem so far.
Ratchet for locking seatbelt in rear for carseats wouldn't stay tight at pinot needed for carseat and have had three rear windoe failures in 6 months of ownership.
