Consumer Description

DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT IS UNUSABLE AS IT IS LOCKED IN THE RETRACTED POSITION. I WAS INTERESTED TO NOTE THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR USED (3 YRS. OLD) AT A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP THEY MADE NO MENTION OF THE RECALL NOR HAD THEY CORRECTED IT. THE OTHER ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE REAR DRIVETRAIN. UNDER HEAVY ACCELERATION, THE CAR HAS A TENDENCY TO HAVE THE BACK END SLIDE SIDEWAYS WHEN THE AUTO TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 2ND.
