2010 Chevrolet Traverse: seat belt won't latch or retract

Filed Dec 7, 2018 · Acceleration, Driver assistance · 144,000 miles · WI

When driving it on the highway, the check engine light came on in the car and flashed the words: traction control off, service stability, rear park assist off, engine power being reduced. The vehicle went from 70 MPH to about 25 MPH. I was almost hit by the other vehicles as this happened. The seatbelt has also not been latching fully and this morning the airbag sensor came on and said check the airbag system. But then went off after about 20 seconds, while I was stationary.this is clearly hazardous and makes driving to work and to my children's things impossible and extremely dangerous. Now I've done my research and what most people believed and mechanics was that it was the throttle body sensor being dirty, we had this cleaned last year. This also seemed to only occur after the temperature outside goes below 30 degrees. People also have found that it may be the engine module system that was serviced or sometimes the catalyst converter. But even after people have had these things serviced they have experienced the same ordeal I have and that's after having 3 or more mechanical repairs with no clue on what is actually causing the problem.

Drivers side 2nd row seat belt does not always stay latched. At 100,000 mi power steering pump went, month later lost control of steering, which turned out to be the rack. 15 months later the seals in the rack have blown out again. This is an expensive safety issue! The dealer did not see an issue as he listed 3 other makes that have the same problem. At $1400 per repair this should be a recall to keep my family safe! Also informed one front strut has no oil and the other is leaking. My chevrolet traverse is a money pit. It is an automatic transmission that on an incline will continue to coast backwards until you either break or give it gas, this is from date of purchase.

They send me a recall for the seat bell for the passenger seat but the seat bell is working very good ,I took the SUV to the dealer and I told them about the problem but they told me I have to pay 200 but I think this is a recall because my car has a clean record no car accident.

Coming out of highway exit, the stop light changed to red and my 7-year old child who I thought was restrained by the seatbelt was ejected forward. The driver seat stopped her from going into the front seat and cushioned her impact. I asked if she was ok and to move seats. The right passenger seat belt does not latch, it makes the sound that it clicks but it comes off, which can fool a child, I have four!!! My 7-year old thought the she was all buckled-up when she heard the "click" but the latch was not secure into the buckle and the seatbelt gave everyone a false sense of security. She could have broken her neck if her hands did not extend out first. Scary!

Second row seat belt latches make it extremely difficult to install child seat in center of second row. Tried two different car seats, neither one fit between the buckles in the center position. In order to get the seat installed, I was required to roll up a small blanket or towel to fit between the latches in order to get the child seat up above the top of the latches. This disallowed me to use the actual seat belt to secure the child seat and I was forced to use the adjacent "latch" anchors on the outer two seats, which I know is not recommended. No other choice though for a center child seat position. The stiff buckles also cause very difficult seating for even the smallest adults and cause the passenger to need to sit sideways in order to not get bruised by the stiff buckles while going over even the smallest bump. Very poor design that needs to be replaced with more flexible buckles.

I was driving on the interstate at approximately 55-60 MPH and merged right to take an off ramp to a side street when both side air bag curtains deployed without incident. There were four people in the vehicle at the time of incident and my wife suffered serious chest bruising from the seatbelt locking up. The seatbelt locking mechanism front passenger and front driver side will not retract. At the time of incident I was clearly the only thing on the road with no obstructions. This complaint should be taken very seriously and checked into by general motors for the safety of myself and others.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet traverse. The contact stated that the rear center seat belt retractor malfunctioned and as a result, the seat belt could not be utilized.

The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 20,000 and the current mileage was 31,000.

Second row seat belt buckles are stiff and make it extremely uncomfortable where passengers have to sit sideways so that the buckle doesn't hurt them, leaving them prone to injury in case of an accident. My mother bruised her hip after sitting in the second row when I had to brake hard after I was cut off by another drive. Almost everyone that sits in the middle of the second row refuses to put on their seat belt because it hurts theirs hips. Also, this makes it hard to buckle in a child with a booster seat as there is very little room to click in the seat belt with the seat in place. Twice already I believed my daughter was clicked in but in fact she wasn't because the buckles had little to no give and gave me the impression that she was secure.
