| 2004 | SEAT BELTS:REAR | WE PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP THIS YEAR. THE REAR SEAT BELTS DON'T EXTEND OR RETRACT. THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED ON OCTOBER 15, 2004 (RECALL # 04V407000). CHEVROLET'S RECALL CENTER HAS TOLD ME IT'S NO LONGER THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THE REAR SEAT BELTS, BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THIS IS A PASSENGER SAFETY CONCERN, THIS RECALL ITEM IS NOW IN A, "CLOSED" STATUS. MY QUESTIONS IS, "REALLY"?! DEFECTIVE PASSENGER SEAT BELTS ARE NO LONGER CHEVY'S RESPONSIBILITY AFTER A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD? PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND PLEASE ADVISE ME AS TO WHAT MY RIGHTS ARE AS A CHEVY OWNER. *TR |
