Passenger seat belt locks into place with little or no passenger movement, cannot be released without removing seatbelt completely and retracting completely. Also own a 2002 chevrolet trailblazer w/ same problem on passenger side restraint. Passenger must remove seat belt every few minutes just to breathe or tuck shoulder strap behind them. This is a serious flaw on the passenger side seat belt on all 2002 bravada's, trailblazers and envoys. Dealer has no fix at this time except to try a seat belt extender to change passenger side angle on restraint belt to see if it helps. This should be a serious recall issue. Will file seperate complaint for 2002 chevrolet trailblazer also just purchased. This defect can cause death or serious injury should a crash occur while passenger is unrestrained while retracting and reapplying restraint.
2002 Oldsmobile Bravada seat belts complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Memory mirrors do not return to their position after coming from reverse. Consumer must adjust mirrors, while driving, to get the back to the proper position. Passenger side seat belt locks while braking. Consumer must unfasten the seat belt - while moving - recoil and then fasten seatbelt to release pressure. Transmission downshifts 15-30 seconds after coming to a complete stop in cold weather. Downshifts are hard (feeling like vehicle has been hit from behind) and long (time between gears).
Suv t-boned in driver door at estimated 40mph. Side air bag failed to deploy even though seat was ripped from its mooring. On star system did not activate to signal 911. In addition the right front tire opposite the accident rolled off of the rim. Is this normal? On at least four occasions since purchasing the SUV the front passenger seat belt locks while stopping and will not release. Must unbuckle and retract before it can be extended.
Center rear seat belt does not work. Ratching mechanism in seat continues to tighten when put it on until it's to much pressure. *ak general motors could not provide any explanation or logic for why the center seatbelt works differently than all the others in the vehicle, the consumer believes this is not safe.
