What 1994 Pontiac Grand Am owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Consumer was involved in a frontal collision in which the driver's air bag did not deploy, and the seat belt did not lock up. Please give any further details.
When buckled up, the seatbelt is supposed to be tight. In my car, when I sit at the driver seat with seat belt on, it is very loose. In particular, the seat belt can freely move through the lower-left buckle. I can easily move my body as if there is no seat belt on.
Seat belt unable to restrain the driver during accident, resulting in injury. Yh
The seat belt assembly that I'm referring to is the part that attaches to the window frame. The part where the seat passes through has cracked and I'm afraid that if I have an accident that the cracked part will not hold the seat belt; that the belt will come loose at the shoulder. I would like to know if this considered normal wear and tear or if it is a defect.
The driver's and passenger's seatbelts malfunctioned when pressing the brakes. The seatbelts will not retract, which will not protect the occupant in event of an accident. Currently at the dealer. Please provide details.
During collision seat backs collapsed.
Engine motor failed due to the head gasket cracking.
The defective driver's seat belt buckle and the rear driver's side seat belt buckle plastic broke off unexpectedly, causing the buckle to dislodge which wont protect the occupant in event of an accident.
Shoulder belt will retract and over tighten, causing too much pressure on the chest area.
