2001 Chevrolet Tahoe Owner Comments

problem #4

Shoulder restraint fails to lock, it continually retracts while driver is wearing it. With every movement seat belt continues to tighten restricting any movement of your upper body. Driver restraint is very dangerous. The driver is forced to make a decision as to whether wear the shoulder restraint and cause an accident or not wear it and be in danger as well as breaking the law! although the retracting mechanism squeaks all the time, the retraction difficulties are intermittent. The problem started when the vehicle was less than 3 years old, but General Motors refuses to repair the seat belt under warranty because the vehicle has 49K miles, despite the obvious hazard to the vehicle owner and others sharing the roadway at the time.
