My car is 3 years old and the seatbelt pretension is causing the airbag light to come on, potentially can cause airbag to engage. Past 36,000 M not covered by warranty and GM will not repair for defect.

All of the rear seat belts have fixed instead of flexible female receptors. Because the seat belt receptors are fixed in a forward tilting position, it is impossible to get a secure fit for a forward facing toddler/booster seat. I have tried seven different seats and have failed two NHTSA safety checks. To date, the vehicle manufacturer will not recognize the problem or provide me with a solution. Meanwhile I have an 18mth old toddler and an infant due in Dec. That I can not safely put in my vehicle. The problem is clearly the seat belt receptor positioning, as I have tried many diffrent brand and models with similar results. The child restraints must be places so far forward in order to accomodate the forward tilting seat belt receptor that the car seat swivels side to side to such a degree that the child's safety is compromised.

On April 17, 1999, my husband tried to engage his seatbelt properly, and it pulled all the way out, and wouldn't go back in. On April 29, 1999, I pulled into my driveway, let my kids out with the power door, my son tried to close it with the power switch, it wouldn't close, so he tried to close it manually, and it wouldn't budge. I tried to close it manually, and couldn't. the tow truck driver was able to get it closed, but the power still didn't work.
