My drivers seat belt will only latch once in a while. It does not matter if it is running or not nor does it matter weather it is moving or not.

After buckling the safety belt on the drivers side , my wife and I tug on the latch several times to make sure it is engaged. While driving the seatbelt latch will become disengaged by its self. This has happened on many occasions and seams to increase in frequency while driving on a bumpy road. I called the 800‑630‑2438 for chevy recalls but the man in the philippians did not act like he was interested in what I had to say. He did give me a case number of 8-2177870626. I did tell him that I would be filing a safety report. I would guess the manufacture used cheep plastic parts where a sturdy metal part should have been used. With this latch opening while driving then how is it going to protect the occupants during an accident?

On thursday may 19th at 8:35 pm, while I was driving home on I-696w when my driver's seatbelt belt disengaged and retracted on its own. While driving, I immediately try to reconnect the belt into the buckle, but it would not go in. I made several attempts to reconnect. I finally was able to get it into the buckle. When I arrived home in my garage and preceded to get out, the seatbelt would not come out. I had to struggle and pull on the seatbelt several times while trying to push the buckle release button. After 10 minutes, I was free. The next morning (5/20/16) while going to work, the seatbelt came out again. It would go in and if I moved forward, the belt would disengage. My seatbelt continued to slip out of the buckle. As of may 23rd, my seatbelt will not even go into the buckle. I cannot engage the driver's seatbelt at all!! These seatbelts should not be defective and should last the vehicle life.
