This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The contact stated that the retractable seat belt was purchased on 4/7/2011 and will not retract; however, it will sporadically fail to unlatch. The seat belt was replaced four times but the issue has recurred. The seat belt was repaired. The manufacturer was notified that they would work on the issue. The approximate failure mileage was unknown and the current failure mileage was 97,000.
Seat belts on both driver & passenger seats do not retract properly. If belts are not manually pulled in they hang loosely. Also on several occasions, belts will be very tight when wearing (across chest). If you try to move forward you are unable. The initial problem with seat belts not retracting started happening occasionally about 2 yrs ago but now happens all the time. It is extremely frustrating to not have the seat belt work properly and to have to manually pull seatbelt in. I have been searching various websites to see if Chevy has done any recalls on this problem & haven't seen anything. I feel this is a safety problem since state law requires us to always wear seatbelts when driving.
