2014 GMC Sierra 1500 Seat belts Problems

On my 2014 GMC, the front driver side seatbelt was not latching. We had to finagle to latch it. To which this point we were unsure that we were safe. So I brought the GMC to the GMC Rosedale dealership and after further investigation they charge me $522 to repair replace the belt. I told them it’s a safety issue, but they seem not to care, I also contacted GMC corporate and they are investigating this. So if it state law that you have to wear a seatbelt for your safety, why do dealerships charge you to repair or replace them.?

My drivers side seat belt cable broke. I did some research and there was a recall no. 16V209000. I took my vehicle to Swickard GMC dealer in Anchorage AK to get repaired and they fixed the seatbelt but told me it wasnt covered under the recall because the recall had already been completed in 2015. The issue with the seat belt breaking is exactly the issues in the recall and believe the recall was not completed or was completed unproperly.

I TOOK MY TRUCK IN TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL FIX AND THEY ASK IF I WANTED A DIAGNOSIS ON THE TRUCK FOR A CHARGE . I SAID YES CAUSE I HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT ON. WHICH THEY BOTH CAME ON A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT. SO THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT THE BELT TENSIONER IS OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THAT THE WIRING UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT IS MESSED UP. AND THEY TOLD ME SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WERE WRONG WITH MY TRUCK THAT I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT WERE FALSE. BUT I ASKED HIM IF THE SEAT BELT AND WORKING ISSUE IS COVERED UNDER A SAFETY WARRANTY. AND HE SAID NO AND TO FIX YOUR TRUCK IT WILL BE 5400 DOLLARS. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THESE ITEMS AND THE RECALL NUMBER IS 15522. SO I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF I'M OR THE SERVICES ADVISOR. THANKS

REAR SEAT BELT IS NOT RETRACTING PROPERLY. SLACK REMAINS IN THE SEAT BELT WHEN FASTENED. OCCUPANT HAS TO MANUALLY FEED THE BELT INTO THE OPENING TO ALLOW THE BELT TO TIGHTEN, BUT ANY TIME THE OCCUPANT MOVE, CAUSING THE BELT TO EXTEND, THERE IS SLACK INTRODUCED AGAIN, THE SEAT BELT RATCHET WILL NOT RETRACT THE SLACK, AND THE BELT DOES NOT REMAIN FIRMLY IN PLACE. THIS HAPPENS IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS, PARKED OR MOVING.

THE SEATBELTS IN THE REAR SEATS DO NOT FIT CHILDREN PROPERLY. MY SON IS CURRENTLY THE AGE OF 9 AND IS APPROXIMATELY 100 LBS. SO HE NO LONGER CAN USE A BOOSTER SEAT, HOWEVER THE SEATBELT IS STILL NOT PLACED ACCROSS HIS CHEST APPROPRIATELY WHEN RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. WITH RECOMMENDATIONS TO HAVE CHILDREN RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT,A S IT IS SAFER FOR THEM, IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A SLIDING SEATBELT RETRACTOR LIKE THE FRONT SEATS PASSENGER AND DRIVER. I AM HOPEFUL THAT WHEN MANUFACTURERING AN Y NEW MODELS THIS COULD BE ACHIEVED TO MAKE OUR CHILDREN SAFER AS A PASSENGER IN A MOTOR VEHICLE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM GMC THAT THE FLEXIBLE STEEL CABLE THAT CONNECTS THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT TO THE OUTBOARD SIDE OF THE SEAT (THE "TENSIONER CABLE") CAN FATIGUE AND SEPARATE OVER TIME AS A RESULT OF OCCUPANT MOVEMENT INTO THE DRIVER'S SEAT. I RECEIVED A SECOND NOTICE THAT THE PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT ACCORDINGLY AND CHECKED WITH THE DEALER PRIOR TO ARRIVAL. I HAVE NOW BEEN WAITING FOR WELL OVER 2 HOURS AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE PART IS NOT IN STOCK AND THE RECALL CAN NOT BE FIXED. I HAVE ATTACHED THE WORK ORDER AND MY RECEIPT WHICH SHOWS THAT THE WORK WAS PERFORMED WHEN IN FACT IT HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED. I AM NOW AT RISK AND HAVE NO TRUST IN THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER.

GM SEAT BELT RECALL WAS PERFORMED BUT THE DEALER AT GM'S DIRECTION HACKED THE INTERIOR TRIM PIECE TO CORRECT DEFECT. THIS IS A DIFFERENT FIX THAN THEY PERFORM ON THE UNSOLD MODELS AND IS NOT ACCEPTABLE OR ETHICAL ON A TRUCK THAT COST +30,000.00

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO SAFETY RECALL 15822 (HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/JAXRS/DOWNLOAD/DOC/UCM517394/RCSB-16V209-2391.PDF) FOR GM SIERRA 1500 TRUCKS. THE REPAIR IS EXTREMELY POOR AND REQUIRES THE DEALERSHIP TO MUTILATE AN INTERIOR PIECE OF THE VEHICLE BY CUTTING IT WITH A RAZOR BLADE. I WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THIS SAFETY RECALL COMPLETED IF I KNEW AHEAD OF TIME HOW POORLY GM WOULD HAVE MADE THE REPAIRS. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, THIS EXPERIENCE IS SHARED BY EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD THIS RECALL PERFORMED, AND MANY PEOPLE ARE OPTING OUT DUE TO THE POOR HANDLING BY GM. ALSO, TO MAKE THINGS WORSE ... GM WILL PROPERLY REPAIR THEIR OWN VEHICLES IF THEY ARE UNSOLD, OR ON THE DEALER LOT. INSTEAD OF HACKING UP THE INTERIOR, THEY REPLACE THE TRIM PIECE WITH A BRAND NEW PART. THIS IS DONE SO THAT THEIR NEW UNSOLD VEHICLES DON'T HAVE THE HEINOUSLY CUT UP INTERIOR PIECE THAT WOULD OBVIOUSLY TURN OFF A BUYER. I BELIEVE GM'S SOLUTION FOR NEW AND CURRENTLY OWNED TRUCKS SHOULD BE THE SAME. CURRENT OWNERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT THIS EXTREMELY POOR SOLUTION FROM GM. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THIS POOR SOLUTION BECAUSE YOU DO NOT WANT THEM TO HACK UP YOUR TRUCK, THEY REQUIRE YOU TO DECLINE THE RECALL. GM NEEDS TO HAVE AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION FOR CURRENT OWNERS, LIKE THEY HAVE FOR THEIR UNSOLD TRUCKS.
