What owners wrote
While traveling east approximately 35-40MPH, another vehicle traveling west, entered eastbound lane. Both vehicles collided head-on on driver's side. Upon impact, neither air bag deployed. Driver's seat belt was intact, but driver suffered minor injuries. Children, in rear, sustained some bruises from seat belts, but no treatment. Vehicle was totaled.
Seat belts fail to latch on rear removable passenger seats (7 pass. Option) 3 seats usable out of 5. 2nd row rh outer belt will not release from retractor - it's stuck. Inquired with chevrolet dealer, sadler motors - s.s.m. Mi GM said no recalls issued, or will be issued. I took the latch from the seat 2nd row rh outer seat and put it on the center seat so the retractable belt could be used - giving me 3 safe seats. No help from dealer or GM.
