1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue Seat belts Problems

I HAVE CALLED MULTIPLE GM DEALERSHIPS IN ORDER TO GET MY IGNITION RECALL, OIL LEAK FROM VALVE COVER RECALL, AND REAR SEATBELT RECALLS TAKEN CARE OF AND SO FAR NONE HAVE RETURNED MY PHONE CALLS REGARDING THE ISSUES. I HAVE HAD THE APPOINTMENTS SET FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS AT 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK ON ANY PARTS ARRIVING. THEY TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE AT BOTH DEALERS THAT IT WOULD TAKE A WEEK AND A HALF FOR PARTS TO ARRIVE AND THAT THEY WOULD RETURN MY CALL WHEN PARTS DID ARRIVE, BUT I HAVE YET TO HEAR ANYTHING.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1998 OLDSMOBILE INTRIGUE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V116000 AND HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED ACCORDINGLY. THE REAR SEAT BELTS WERE RECALLED AND REPAIRED AS WELL. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE SEAT BELTS BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION AGAIN. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER TO SEE IF THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE REPAIR WORK AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE INSPECTED BY THE DEALER. THE CLIPS THAT WERE APPLIED MAY BE PREVENTING THE SEAT BELTS FROM RELEASING FROM THE RETRACTOR. THE DEALER ADDED A COVER PIECE TO THE RETRACTOR, BUT IT DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE REAR SEAT BELT CANNOT BE USED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 144,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 143,000.

FYI. IT IS FRUSTRATING TO HAVE THE BELTS "LOCK" SOMETIMES IN THE COMPLETELY RETRACTED POSITION. OFTEN REQUIRES HAVING TO BELT ONE OF THE CHILDREN WITH THE MIDDLE SEAT LAP-ONLY BELT. DEALER DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM WHEN QUESTIONED A YEAR AGO. BLAMED THE USERS (US) EVEN THOUGH THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY UNUSUAL OPERATION ON OUR PART.

I RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE DEFECT AND CONTACTED MY DEALER IMMEDIATELY. THE REAR SEAT BELTS ARE DEFECTIVE IN MY CAR. DUE TO THE THE SEAT BELT WEBBING BECOMING JAMMED IN THE RETACTOR, THE DEALER STATES THEY WILL HAVE TO DO EXTRA WORK IN ORDER TO MAKE THE REPAIR. THEY STATED THEY WILL CHARGE ME $75.00 AN HOUR FOR THE REPAIR. I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH BEING CHARGED AN AMOUNT OF MONEY TO CORRECT A PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED DUE TO THE MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS REGARDING THE FEE I AM TO BE CHARGED, (MY CAR WILL BE AT THE DEALER 10-11-00) & IF YOU FEEL CHARGING THE CONSUMER A FEE TO REPAIR THEIR DEFECT IS REASONABLE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TP PROCEED. SINCERELY, ANN KERLEY
