Pontiac Trans Sport Seat Belts Front Buckle Assembly Safety Report | Dec 01, 2000
Reported on Dec 01, 2000
| 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 | |
