THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED UNDER A RAPID STOP. THE BELT NEVER CAUGHT. IT JUST CONTINUED TO LET BELT OUT UNTIL THE PASSENGER CAUGHT HERSELF NEAR THE DASH. UPON TAKING THE BELT ROLLUP ASSEMBLY APART, I FOUND THAT THE NYLON BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE LEAD (PB) PENDALUM HAD BROKEN. THE LATCHING PENDALUM WAS IN THE BOTTOM OF THE ASSEMBLY. I "SUPER GLUED" THE BRACKET, SO THAT IT IS WORKING AT THE MOMENT, BECAUSE GM DOES NOT MAKE A REPLACEMENT ANYMORE. THIS ANGERS ME. I AM NOW SEARCHING THE JUNK YARDS FOR A GOOD ONE.
