What is wrong: The front safety belt buckle release buttons can break. These red plastic release buttons are marked "press." if a button breaks, pieces can fall into the buckle assembly causing the buckle to operate improperly.
Risk: The safety belts would not provide adequate protection to an occupant in a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Owners should promptly check the condition and operation of both front safety belt buckles and carefully inspect the red release button for any breaks or cracks. They should ensure that both buckles are operating properly by inserting each latch plate into its buckle, tugging on the belt to make sure the latch is securely locked, and then pressing the release button. The latch plate should pop out of the buckle when the button is pressed. If either release button shows a sign of breaking or cracking or if either buckle fails to operate properly, owners should promptly contact their authorized dealer to schedule an appointment to have the buckle replaced or repaired, free of charge. The manufacturer is developing a remedy designed to prevent failure of the buttons that are not currently broken.

Both saftey belts in the front "lock-up" and you are stuck in the vehicle. You get out only when the the seat belt finally pops out of it's housing. The more you struggle, the tighter it gets. These seat belts were once recalled, I took the certificate to deery brothers in burligton iowa. They said they knew all about the problem, and so I scheduled the appointment and took it in. They had my vehicle three days, and when I picked it up, they had done nothing to it. Still all original seatbelts, housings, etc. When I questioned them at this time, they told me nothing was wrong with the seat belts. I asked for the certificate back so I could go elsewhere, and they said "no,they have to get paid". In case of fire or flooding, how am I going to get out of this vehicle? Thus far I have been cited twice for failure to wear satey belts. I guess it's a small price to pay for mine and my passengers lives.

Neither the chevrolet dealer nor chevrolet headquarters will fix the defective seat belts. Claim it is not part of a recall, although the seat belt latch failed exactly as described in recall campaign id # 95v103007. Also, the driver's side seat assembly has a broken weld, leaving the seat anchored in only 3 of the 4 corners. Chevrolet headquarters claims that since geo is no longer sold by chevrolet, they have no records of older geo VIN numbers and can not tell me if this vehicle will be repaired at their expense. They claim it would be up to the individual dealer's discretion. Taylor-parker has already told me they would not repair the seat belt at their expense, despite my telling them that the federal safety agency issued a recall. What good are recalls??
