THE FIRST PROBLEM IS THAT THE SECOND ROW, MIDDLE SEAT BELT GETS STUCK AFTER PUTTING THE ROW DOWN FLAT. YOU HAVE TO PUT THE ROW UP AND DOWN A FEW TIMES FOR IT TO START WORKING. SOMETIMES THAT WORKS, SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. I READ ABOUT RECALLS ON THE MODEL OF MY VEHICLE AND THIS ISSUE IS LISTED AS ONE OF THE RECALLS. CHEVROLET AND GM INSIST THAT MY "VIN#" IS NOT LISTED UNDER THE RECALLS, SO IT HAS TO BE DIAGNOSED AND DEALT WITH AS A NORMAL PROBLEM. THIS IS LISTED AS A SAFETY HAZARD WITH THE RECALL BECAUSE IT MAY NOT RESTRAIN AS IT SHOULD, GOD FORBID, DURING AN ACCIDENT. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS THERE IS A LEAK IN THE CARGO HOLD. WHENEVER IT RAINS, (A LITTLE OR A LOT, IT DOESN'T MATTER) WATER POOLS IN THE CARGO HOLD. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE NOW THE VEHICLE SMELLS OF MOLD. THERE ARE MANY OTHER PROBLEMS AS WELL. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH ONE OF THE TIRE SENSORS, THE CAR SHAKES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. *TR
