NHTSA Complaint #10344276 — 2006 SATURN VUE

N 2006 SATURN VUE, THE REAR SEAT IS A 2/3 SPLIT BENCH UPON LOWERING THE SEATBACK DOWN, THE MIDDLE SEATBELT BECAME "LOCKED" IN THE LOWERED POSITION. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE ONLY REMEDY WAS TO CUT THE SEATBELT. THEY THEN TOLD ME IT WOULD BE 300 DOLLARS TO REPLACE IT!INTERIOR PARTS). I BELIEVE IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, AND SHOULD BE REPLACED AT GM'S 'S EXPENSE. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. I WAS USING THE AUTOMOBILE FEATURES AS THEY ARE INTENDED TO BE USED. I SEE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME DESCRIPTION ON THE INTERNET! *TR
