I was driving to work as usual and it sounded like something broke and my seat belt got loose all of a sudden.I was driving on a straight road with no turns or no other changes.the problem was that the seat belt was not retracting back anymore.a part like a seat belt is supposed to function at all times and is something that should not fail unless it got damaged due to a major impact on the car.this could have put my life at risk if I was in an accident and the seat belt would have failed at that point.

Seat belt would not unbuckle. With a fair amount of difficulty and some assistance, I was able to slip out of seat belt. The plastic on the buckle portion of the belt near the opening where the latch slides in had broken into several pieces and lodged inside the buckle preventing it from opening. After picking the broken pieces out, the buckle finally released. A potentially serious problem.

I checked my VIN on my 2006 pontiac g6 to see what recalls popped up. My vehicle does not fall under any of the recalls for power steering, air bags, or seat belts but I have had many issues. My power steering quits working randomly. I have to pull over, shut the car off, then turn it back on and it will work agian. Just yesterday the warning light came on and said service air bags. Also the sensor for the seat belts will sometimes not work. The bell will continuously ding to alert you that the seat belt is not buckled and it actually is. Funny thing is, my car has had none of the problems that it is under recall for and all of the problems it's not under recall for. I have three children and this is my only transportation. I am afraid to put them in this car and drive anywhere with them.

I was driving down the road and all of a sudden my car jerked to the right and put me and my kids into the ditch. This has happened twice. The second time it did it in the same direction(right) but when I hit the ditch smoke was coming into the heat vents while my kids were in the car. Brought it to the dealership they told me that my power steering line was broke and also I had a major oil leak and that it was a fire hazard. They then told me the price of how much to fix it. It is no longer under warranty. I don't feel I should have to pay for something that seems to be factory mistake. I've also had an incident of my car shutting off while driving. The ignition turned off while driving only going around a corner. I only had three keys on my ring at this time. This car has been the most dangerous car I've ever owned. The brakes and oil light constantly come on. The air bag light has been on since for over several thousand miles. Also the tire psi sensors are always going bad. The hazard switch hasn't worked in over two years as well. But every time I brought the car in even with a warranty they never fixed any of these problems. What's it have to take for this company to make this car safe?? Dos to make my to fix their mistakes seems like someone's going to have to get in a fatal accident for something to be done. Also my back left seatbelt locked up on my son squeezing him and it wouldn't release. The belt had to be cut to get him out.

The passenger seat fails to realize that someone is sitting in the seat with the seat belt buckled. Therefore the light and bell continuously goes off when someone is sitting in it or not.
