Consumer Description

2004 CHEVY AVEO REAR SEATBELTS DO NOT WORK . SAFETY RECALL ISSUED AND A GUIDE TO REPAIR SEATBELTS WAS INSTALLED AS PART OF THE RECALL. THE SEATBELTS ONCE AGAIN ARE BROKEN TWISTED AND CAN NOT BE USED! I CAN SOMETIMES FIX ONE SEATBELT BUT WITHIN A WEEK IT IS NOT ABLE TO BE USED AGAIN! MY DAUGHTER WAS SQUEEZED BY THE SEATBELT WHEN I APPLIED THE BREAKS. IT WAS A VERY TIGHT SQUEEZE BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND UNBUCKLE HER QUICKLY SO SHE HAD ONLY VERY MINOR INJURIES. I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE WITHOUT SEATBELTS FOR MY CHILDREN ON MANY OCCASIONS OR MAKE THEM BOTH USE THE MIDDLE SEATBELT TOGETHER. WE WERE ON VACATION AND WERE FORCED TO DRIVE HOME 12 HOURS WITHOUT A SEATBELT BECAUSE OF THE PRODUCT DEFECT. IT MAY SOUND LIKE A SIMPLE THING TO FIX BUY BUYING A NEW CAR BUT I SIMPLY CANT AFFORD IT AND I KNOW MANY 2004 AVEOS WERE PRODUCED SO PLEASE DO SOMETHING SO THAT GM WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND NO CHILD DIES AS A RESULT OF THIS! *TR
