Driver's side safety belt will not extend so it can be used. Will not come out of the reel. The other concern were the ABS brakes. Had situations while in traffic the ABS activated on their own. This removes control from the driver, and is startling when it happens. There is a vibration from the ABS. Tried to corrrespond with GM, but feot concerns have fallen on deaf ears. No repair has been made as of yet. The seat belt began to fail on 1-1-03, and the ABS system began to malfunction on 2-10-05.
