Description of the problem | Driver seat belt buckle froze up and the buckle would not engage. This buckle has exhibited difficulty in the last couple of months. Many times would have to push belt into slot 2x or 3x before the buckle would catch. Never thought it would be a issue. Thank god my daughter wasn't driving to school and the thing locked up or something. Now, it will cost approx. $200 to have just the buckle replaced at the original dealership i purchased it from. All i can say is that there are too many problems with the aveo seat belts starting from 2004. I liked this little car but i am done. I think i'll stick with dodge. This is just my opinion. Unfortunately, there are over 1800 complaints on this vehicle between 2004 and 2011; the most being 2004 and 2005. I think my issue just slide past them. |
