1995 Pontiac Trans Sport Seat belts Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the seat belt system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
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. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THREE OF THE SEAT BELTS IN THIS 7-PSGR VAN HAVE FAILED DURING THE FIFTH YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. ONE OF THE REAR SEATBELTS CAME UNBOLTED FROM THE WALL WHILE MY 10 YR. OLD SON WAS STRAPPED INTO IT! THANK GOD WE DIDN'T DISCOVER THIS FLAW DURING AN ACCIDENT! THE MIDDLE SEAT IN THE MIDDLE ROW HAS A JAMMED SEAT BELT THAT WON'T SPOOL OUT. THE RIGHT SEAT IN THE MIDDLE ROW HAS A SEATBELT WHERE THE FEMALE PORTION OF THE BUCKLE LITERALLY FELL APART. I HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING MY 6 YR. OLD CHILD OUT OF THE SEATBELT BECAUSE IT STUCK. THE DEALER TELLS ME THESE ITEMS ONLY HAVE A 36 MONTH OR 36000 MILE WARRANTLY. SHOULDN'T SAFETY ITEMS LIKE THESE HAVE MORE STRINGENT WARRANTIES, WHICH WOULD ENCOURAGE THE MANUFACTURER TO MAKE A MORE RELIABLE PRODUCT?*AK
