Gm ordered the incorrect seat belts which would satisfy the recall. They've ignored my phone calls and emails. According to my findings gm must either satisfy the recall or provide me with a suitable vehicle which is safe to drive.

I have called several different dealers and they say they cannot get the parts needed to replace my seat belts.

My wife and i were driving down 1-20 at 70 mph when the driver side airbag deployed for no reason known to us. I was driving and was able to keep the car under control and get it stopped. The airbag injured my left arm and my chest. It filled the interior with smoke, which affected our breathing (my wife has asthma) and vision.

I purchased the vehicle listed above in dec. 2012. I recently took it to a chevrolet dealer for service who at that time ran it through their database to see if there were any outstanding recalls. In 1990 a recall was issued for the driver's side seat belt not working as expected. When they checked with the manufacturer they were informed that the replacement part was no longer in production so therefore could not be replaced. My question is should the manufacturer still be responsible for fixing the defective part or has the recall expired on this issue? Thank you for your time concerning this matter. *tr

When attempting to seat belt my self into my corvette the driver side seat belt upper harness would not release and attach to the bottom of the belt clasp. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 1990 chevrolet corvette. While driving various speeds, the air bag and seat belt warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

Problem: i have a 1990 chevy corvette and the safety belt on the drives side of car has "lockup or jammed" in the safety belt retractor. Consequence summary: if lockup occurs, it is impossible to pull belt out of the retractor. The occupant of a seat with an unusable safety belt is subject to increased risk of injury or death in the event of a sudden stop or accident. Corrective summary: replace the safety belts if the lockup occurs. Campaign number: 91v143000 date: 1991-sep-04 component: seat belts: front: anchorage campaign number: 91v143000 date: 1991-sep-04 component: seat belts: front: anchorage. I when to chevorlet in wilkes barre, pa and they told me my car was not part of the recall and would not fix the defective safety belt retractor free of charge. I understand, (correct me if i am wrong) than the manufacturer must replace it free of charge as it is a defective safety device on the vehicle. I find it odd that there was a recall of this part, but my car was not part of the recall. That was $154 plus labor to replace the safety belt retractor. *jb

Cannot get a replacement part from gmc . Therefore i am forced to drive without the benefit of my air bag.*ak

Computer that controls the air bag restrain system has malfunction. A light has come on the dash. I can't seem to get a replacement part. I have contact gm . Appears gm. Does not have a vendor to supply the part. Gm customer service 800-222-1020 ext 57379 service number C04306084. My concern is the air bag according to gm could deploy at any time. How many additonal cars that gm makes has the same computer module that today is not available. I can't seem to get them concern.Their comment to me is it will only inflate for 20 seconds. 20 seconds is a long time driving on the interstate. This is a major safety concern.*ak
