Seat belts reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists.

I PURCHASED MY 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN BRAND NEW IN 2007. I THINK THE MILEAGE IS SOMEWHERE AROUND 150,000 BUT NOT SURE BECAUSE THE ODOMETER CLUSTER WENT OUT ON THE VEHICLE SEVERAL YEARS AGO. ALSO, MY DOOR HANDLES ARE STARTING TO PEEL APART WHICH ARE CUTTING MY HANDS AND MY CHILDREN'S HANDS. ONE INCIDENT IT SLICED MY HAND OPEN VERY SIMILAR SEVER PAPER CUT BUT WORSE. THE HANDLES WERE ALREADY REPLACED ONCE ON MY SUBURBAN BACK IN 2009 BY GM AND AT GM'S COST. THE MAIN ISSUE ABOUT THIS EMAIL IS THE SEATBELTS AND THE DASHBOARD. THERE ARE FOUR PASSENGER SEATBELTS THAT DO NOT WORK HARDLY AT ALL. SOMETIMES THEY WILL SNAP IN/BUCKLE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF TIMES THAT THEY DO NOT. THE CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE AIRBAG. IT REALLY CONCERNS ME AS FAR AS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE. I DO HAVE FIVE SMALL CHILDREN THAT ARE CONSTANTLY WITH ME IN MY CAR. I JUST WANT THIS DASHED FIXED AT NO CHARGE BEING THAT IT IS A DEFECT. I HAVE SIGNED A PETITION WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER GM OWNERS WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE....CRACKED DASHBOARD AND MOST OF THEM IN THE SAME EXACT PLACE. . I'M JUST ASKING FOR THIS TO BE REPLACED AND CORRECTED.

WE HAVE A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN THE SECOND ROW MIDDLE SEATBELT JUST UNRAVELED, 2 WEEKS LATER THE 3RD ROW MIDDLE SEATBELT UNRAVELED. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINING 3 YRS AGO WE HAD A GMC YUKON AND WE WERE IN A SEVERE CRASH. THE YUKON WAS ONLY 3 YRS OLD AT THE TIME AND THE FRONT MIDDLE SEATBELT FAILED AND THE SECOND ROW MIDDLE SEATBELT FAILED SERIOUSLY INJURING OUR FAMILY. THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE QUESTION ARE THESE THE SAME SEATBELTS I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS A COINCIDENCE. CAN SOMEONE LOOK INTO IT. *TR

THE REAR (THIRD ROW) SEAT BELTS RANDOMLY LOCK UNDER NON-EMERGENT CONDITIONS. THE TENSION ON THE BELT BECOMES EXTREME SUCH THAT THE CANNOT RELEASE THE BELT AND REQUIRES ASSISTANCE, RESULTING IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THE OCCUPANT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EGRESS IN AN EMERGENCY. THE SITUATION IS MADE WORSE BY PASSENGERS IN THE THIRD ROW SEAT WHO ARE ADULTS AND/OR MAY BE OVERWEIGHT. THE MANUFACTURER HAS MODIFIED THE THIRD ROW SEAT BELTS IN APPARENT RECOGNITION OF THE PROBLEM, BUT HAS NOT CHOSEN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IN EARLIER VEHICLE DESIGNS. *TR
