TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT IS INOPERATIVE. THE MECHANISM THAT ALLOWS THE SEAT BELT TO SAFELY POSITION THE STRAP ONTO THE PASSENGER DOES NOT RETRACT; THEREFORE, THE SEAT BELT HARNESS IS EXTREMELY LOOSE. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE OCCUPANTS WOULD NOT BE PROPERLY RESTRAINED, WHICH INCREASES THE RISK OF A SERIOUS INJURY. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 61,000.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND STARTED SMELLING BURNED WIRES - THEN SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT OF ALL CREASES IN MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I PULLED OVER AND HAD A DRINK WITH ME AND DUMPED THE WHOLE THING INTO THE DOOR TO GET IT TO STOP. FIRE DEPT CAME AND TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IN WAS A FAULTY DRIVER DOOR WINDOW REGULATOR AND IT HAD A HOLE BURNED THROUGH IT. I LOOKED ON INTERNET AND SAW THIS AD: HTTP://AUTOS.WINNIPEGFREEPRESS.COM/NEWS-ARTICLE/ID-4400/ THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR. INSURANCE SAYS NOT COVERING IT. I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED VERY BADLY AS I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THERE WAS SO MUCH SMOKE IN MY CAR. *JS
