Both driver side and passenger side seatbelts in the back seat will not retract. When passengers pull out the seatbelts to buckle themselves in, the seatbelt then has slack and will not retract at all. This makes it very unsafe for passengers and children riding in the back seat. This problem began occuring around May 2018.

I've had to get a new paint job because clear coat was coming off. Egnition switch locked up. Check engine light has come on multiple times I take it to the dealership and they say nothing is wrong with it. But tell me I can't let it get below a half tank of gas. Back axles lock up. And seat belts lock when going about 50 miles per hour. And the air condenser cought on fire. Now when I take it to the dealership they say they can not diagnose the problem. I have spent around $6000 in repairs

Take my 2014 vehicle in for service on a broken pretension cable. This was on recall in 2016. I was told the broken cable was not on recall. After reading the call info, I called the dealer and was told I needed to call Chevy Corp. Chevy Corp said its not an issue. I believe the cable is broken because the recall (fix) did nothing. Now I have to pay and put a small claims against Chevy.. I truly believe this recall was not done properly and the cable will break on all Silverado. I have pictures of the broken cable and will have the parts for future inquiries. Please advise what I should do next.

We have a crew cab and the back seat passenger and driver side seat belts became nonfunctional after we had had the vehicle for only one year. We used the seat belts in a normal fashion. It does not seem reasonable that the belts and retractors would break after normal use for one year. The front seat belts were recalled and worked on, so we are wondering if the back seat belts should be recalled also.

The seat belt does not tighten up to your lap or shoulder after being snapped to the stationary piece. The belt continues to do this even after reporting to dealership cook Chevrolet in craig Colorado and taking there for them to repair.they gave me a 400 estimate and did not repair I assume this would be found on most of these vehicles from poor materials, I will repair this issue myself since I cannot trust Chevrolet workmanship.

I checked both the NHTSA and GM recall sites, and they both show the issue as unresolved. Manufacturer recall number 2016007, NHTSA recall number 16V651 and N150822, 16V209. The dealership claims there is nothing under our VIN.

Dealer states that parts for two critical recalls on our 2014 Chevrolet Silverado will takes months to receive before an appointment can be made repair. Our vehicle was purchased specifically for towing our travel trailer. The two recalls involve rear braking system and two hitch weld breakage causing the trailer to break away from the vehicle. What is the resolution to have dealers provided in a timely manner the parts necessary to complete repairs. We cannot use our vehicle for months now due to these issues?
