In January 2022 the drivers seat belt latch broke in my Silverado. The seat belt would not engage into the latch, there was an internal part of the latch that broke and prevented the seat belt from engaging. Obviously this is a safety issue in addition to my State having mandatory seat belt laws so I was unable to drive my vehicle. I contacted General Motors Customer Service who said the defect was not covered under any warranty. I took the vehicle to the dealer I purchased the truck from and had the repair made. It cost $316.97 for the dealer to replace the driver side seat belt latch. I followed up with General Motors to see if the part had ben recalled or if they would pay for the repair to this integral part of the truck's supplemental restraint system. General Motors sent me a check for $16.97 which they said was a prorated amount towards the amount I paid to have the seat belt repaired. While there is no official recall of this part currently, there are many public forums where Silverado owners have complained about this part of the supplemental restraint system failing. In my opinion a seat belt system should never fail, especially on a truck as new as mine and with such low mileage. My truck was purchased new, has been garage kept and has never been involved in any accident. The truck only had 44,400 miles on it at the time of the repair. I find it hard to believe that General Motors would not cover the repair under the terms of the supplemental restraint warranty.

- West Sacramento , CA, USA
The stitching in the loop attaching the front center lap seat belt to the vehicle failed causing the seat belt to detach and become unusable. If this had not been discovered and the vehicle were in an accident with the front center lap seat belt in use, the seat belt would not have provided any protection to the occupant and could have resulted in serious injury or death.
