THE LEFT SEAT BELT BUCKLE COMES UNLATCHED ALL THE TIME, THE RIGHT ONE HAS JUST BROKEN, MAKING IT TOTALLY USELESS.

I OFFERED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS, BUT WAS TOLD THAT CHEVROLET NO LONGER MANUFACTURES THE SEATBELT BUCKLES THAT ARE NEEDED. THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO A JUNKYARD AND GET ANOTHER SET. I AM NOT WILLING TO DO THAT, KNOWING THAT THE SEATBELTS ARE FAULTY TO BEGIN WITH.
