I went to leave my office yesterday afternoon 4/29/10 and my seat belt wouldn't release. I tried several different things to get it to release, no luck. I have had no previous issue with the drivers side seat belt, nor has my car ever been involved in any type of accident. My mechanic was unable to get the seat belt to unlock. A new seat belt was required. The part can only be bought at a dealership. I called 4 dealerships, none had it in stock. I could order and they would have it in 1-2 days. I finally found a dealership that had the part, it was 40 miles away. The part cost over $200 dollars, some quoted almost $300 and that's just for the part, no labor. This is a serious safety concern that needs to be addressed.
I went to work Friday September 27, 2019. Where my car sat for two hours. When I came back out I had a service air bag light on. My car is a 2105, I'm the second owner. It's never been in an accident. I took it to the dealer I had bought it from a year ago. They told me it was a faulty air bag module that needed to be replaced. Luckily it didn't take an accident for faulting in severe injury, before I had known what was going on. I called GM hoping to get some answers. Only to be told there was nothing they could do to help me. From reading online I've seen a lot of people have this issue. I just pray something can be fixed before someone gets seriously injured. This is a serious safety issue. We don't pay thousands of dollars for a car, to have things go seriously wrong with them. I understand things get wore out and need replaced, but coming from a company who states safety is a priority, I don't feel an air bag module should be going out after only 4 years.
Check engine light randomly comes on and off. Unable to get a diagnostic check thoroughly because the engine light doesn't stay on. Was at an auto zone one day when it came on again and was given two of the same codes stating there may be an O2 sensor issue. A couple weeks later while driving I get a message on the car stating 'service power steering' then it goes off again. Check engine light went off. Right driver back seat belt doesn't click in all the way but sometimes it does.
The divers seat belt adjuster rattles while driving. One has been replaced and the plastic portion of the adjuster showed significant wear. I am concerned that this part could fail in a collision.
