Consumer Description

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT WORKS PROPERLY AND RESTRAINS DRIVER DURING QUICK STOPS.THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT CATCH MECHANISM HAS NEVER RESTRAINED THE PASSENGER DURING QUICK STOPS AND THE PASSENGER LUNGES FOREWARD EACH AND EVERY TIME.NOTICING THIS PROBLEM I INTENTIONALLY ATTEMPTED TO MAKE THE SEAT BELT CATCH BY MAKING NUMEROUS QUICK STOPS.THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG BECAUSE ALL THE GMC TRUCKS WERE LIKE THIS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND ONLY RESTRAINED ON IMPACT.I WAS TOLD THAT THE REASON FOR THIS WAS TO MAKE IT EASY TO INSTALL A CHILD CAR CARRIER.DOES THIS SOUND REASONABLE TO YOU.I THOUGHT SEAT BELTS SHOULD OPERATE THE SAME REGARDLESS OF WHICH SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *AK
