Just bought a 2010 Chevy equonox ltz and I couldn't get the seat belt latched. This model of the Equinox isnt any better than my 07 Equinox as far as big large or obese persons as I am, getting the seat belt to latch behind me. It tore the skin off my knuckle and O still couldnt get it latched. I just test drove it without it buckled. I even pulled over and got out and tried to pull up on the stationary connection piece but it dont budge. Whoever designed these 2010 Chevy Equinox fud a very poor job on not thinking of large folks who drive these SUVS. I still can't get it latched. I have to buy an extension part that will click in the female part and then extend out a good 5in so I can get it to latch or buckle and operate vehicle safely. I noticed this as I got in to go test drive this 2010 Equinox ltz. And I could not get it to latch I tried for 5 mins at the dealer location but drove off. Pulled over tried again, mo luck either time. Now an extension will cost me $15-20 at least. So double that because if I buy one I'll need another for the passenger side when my wife drives and I'm the passenger so this will cost me $40 for something that should of been addressed during manufacturing. It is located clear down inside between the seat and the back rest of the seat. Very poor location. People arent going to fight the belt and won't wear it now. Think of large people why dont you. It needs recalled and that latch needs moved up and to the side of driver not around the back of the driver.
Even when my seatbelts are connected the warning chimes continue to go off. During motion, on a city street and even on the highway it periodically makes the sound as if the seatbelt is not connected.
I got a recal about my airbags. When I took it in the dealer told me that it was the seatbelt tinshner was at falt and that was not covered by the recall. The dealer is pheltier Chevy in tyler tex.
