- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Some of these vehicles were built with rear seat shoulder belts that could twist, allowing the webbing to be jammed in the retractor. When the shoulder belt webbing becomes jammed in the retractor, the seat belt becomes unusable.

- Remedy
- Dealers will remove any twists from the rear shoulder belt(s) and install clips to the belt web guide to prevent twisting.

Rear shoulder belt malfunction
The alleged defect concerns two major symptoms:failure to retract webbing and inability to extend the webbinng for use. The root cause of these symptoms is the design of the trim bezel through which the sebbing passes. Built into the rear package shelf, the bezel includes a vertical slot to facilitate vehicle assembly.the slot is positioned such that the shoulder belt webbing tends to slip into it.webbing ingestion by the vertical slot may retard webbing retraction, or allow webbing twists to accumulate on the retractor spool.in either case, the retractor may fail to maintain appropriate tension on the seat occupant.failure of the shoulder belt to completely retract may also result in an inability to extend it for use if the child restraint cinch feature has been inadvertently engage (by extending the webbing to its maximum length).gm will remedy the alleged defect in the subject vehicles by straightening an twisted rear shoulder belt webbing and them installing a plastic cover that will prevent further webbing ingestion by the webbing guide vertical slot.this engineerign ananlysis is closed.

Recall 00v044000; rear seat shoulder belts become jammed within the retractor mechanism, causing seat belts to become unuseable. This vehicle not included in recall.
This vehicle has a passive restraint system (seatbelts) in the rear seat. The upper strap of these 3-point belts emerge from rear platform beneath the rear window. The strap is guided through the platform by a plastic eyelet. This eyelet has a slot in the side facing the passenger. On at least six occasions that I can recall, my children have put on these seatbelts while sitting in the back. While pulling the belt forward, the strap pulls itself into the slot and continues down a matching slot in the seat-back. The belt then cannot be tensioned once the clip is attached. The belt remains loose around the wearer's waist, offering no protection during a crash.
