On this 3 row SUV, the middle row has a bench seat vs captain seats in some models. In order to let passengers in the 3rd row, you must lean the middle row end seats up. When doing this from the left side of the vehicle, the middle seat in the middle row's seatbelt buckle falls back a little. So then when you lean the seat back after leaning it forward to let passengers in the 3rd row, the buckle gets caught up and over time, internal mechanisms inside the buckle break to where you can not fasten the seatbelt into the buckle any more. This happened while we were in a trip and had no choice but to ride back home with one passenger who didn't have a seatbelt to wear.

The backseat seatbelt is not working. When you insert the metal part of the seatbelt in the clip, it won’t clip. You have to push the button numerous times then it clicks. However, I’m not sure if it’s safe enough to trust since it’s faulty at the insert. Also, the passenger seatbelt is faulty. When seatbelt is on, the seatbelt stays in a lock position and doesn’t loosen, it stays tight although brakes weren’t applied, to promote it to lock. I can send a video ob both faulty seatbelts.

This is a 8 seat SUV. The second row center seat belt is not working - will not latch. This is caused because the buckle is positioned between the 60/40 moving seats. When people are in the third row seating area and the second row seats move forward to exit it crushes the buckle. After repeated crushes it now does not operate. The second row center seat person can not keep the seat belt latched and is not restrained.

3 major issues—1. The driver side seatbelt does not latch any more. This started happening 11/1/2022. 2. The "Shift to Park" message continues to appear while the car is in park. The vehicle at times will not shut off due to the message even thought it's actually in park. This has been happening for over a year without a fix and now we're over our 3 year warranty. 3. The car has 45 miles on it before it needed to refuel, however, it stalled and completed shut off in the middle of traffic causing a jam behind us! We had one of our toddlers in the car too which could have ended much worse. The car was towed to Chevy ($160 bill for us), and Chevy said it stalled and turned off because the fuel was empty even though it the dashboard said 45 miles on it.

The seatbelt buckle in the middle row jams and makes the seatbelt unusable. I took the vehicle to the dealer and was told I had to pay for this repair when this is clearly a safety issue that Chevrolet should take care of. There is a defect in the seatbelt buckles for this vehicle. When I first purchased it in July 2021 they had to replace one seatbelt buckle and now a second one stopped working.

The middle seat seatbelt got caught in the recline lever which caused the seatbelt to lock and there is know way of releasing it, making the seatbelt unusable.
