The backseat seatbelt is not working. When you insert the metal part of the seatbelt in the clip, it won-??t clip. You have to push the button numerous times then it clicks. However, I-??m not sure if it-??s safe enough to trust since it-??s faulty at the insert. Also, the passenger seatbelt is faulty. When seatbelt is on, the seatbelt stays in a lock position and doesn-??t loosen, it stays tight although brakes weren-??t applied, to promote it to lock. I can send a video ob both faulty seatbelts.

This is a 8 seat SUV. The second row center seat belt is not working - will not latch. This is caused because the buckle is positioned between the 60/40 moving seats. When people are in the third row seating area and the second row seats move forward to exit it crushes the buckle. After repeated crushes it now does not operate. The second row center seat person can not keep the seat belt latched and is not restrained.

3 major issues-€"1. The driver side seatbelt does not latch any more. This started happening 11/1/2022. 2. The "Shift to Park" message continues to appear while the car is in park. The vehicle at times will not shut off due to the message even thought it's actually in park. This has been happening for over a year without a fix and now we're over our 3 year warranty. 3. The car has 45 miles on it before it needed to refuel, however, it stalled and completed shut off in the middle of traffic causing a jam behind us! We had one of our toddlers in the car too which could have ended much worse. The car was towed to Chevy ($160 bill for us), and Chevy said it stalled and turned off because the fuel was empty even though it the dashboard said 45 miles on it.

We bought the Chevy Traverse from Eagle Pass, Texas AutoWorld Dealership. We test drove the vehicle and made the car dealer aware that some of the seatbelts were not functioning and also that the breaks were making a screeching sound. The car dealer made notes and said he would have the seatbelts and brakes looked over at a later time. We. Still bought the vehicle and followed up with the dealership only to be told the car sales man no longer works there and that we would be charged a fee for having the seatbelts looked at totally disregarded the break issues. Now we have a newer vehicle but with faulty seatbelts and breaks.

The seatbelt buckle in the middle row jams and makes the seatbelt unusable. I took the vehicle to the dealer and was told I had to pay for this repair when this is clearly a safety issue that Chevrolet should take care of. There is a defect in the seatbelt buckles for this vehicle. When I first purchased it in July 2021 they had to replace one seatbelt buckle and now a second one stopped working.

I took my son to my work when we arrived I told my sons to take their seatbelts off. My son started screaming it's tightening it's tightening. With him being in a booster it pinned him he tried to wiggle out and got even more stuck I turned the car off to tried to remove and was unsuccessful it unhooked from the buckle but he was still strapped to the car. He started bleeding from his nose and mouth and said his shoulder hurts. I had another co worker try to help me out and we were unable to until I had to cut the seatbelt
