Letter from phyllis gifford (fl) owner of a 1997 Chevrolet Malibu who wasa involved in an accident and seat belt was broken. Contacted GMC to repair/replace broken seat belt. Reply to orlando fl. District ofc atten: Jon miller staff assistant..
Both rear seat shoulder belts had to be replaced at a cost of us$202.49 due to the plastic covering on the latchplate cracking and falling off. This vehicle has never been in an accident and the belts were primarily used to secure child seats. I don't feel the belts are of quality to support child seats. I'm also afraid that people who have the same problem will not spend this kind of money to make their restraints safe again. The dealer told me we would have to purchase the belts due to there not being a recall on them. I also feel Chevrolet should absorb this cost.
Vehicle was involved in an accident while driving at 45-50 mph both driver's and passenger's side seatbelts unbuckled when vehicle rolled over. Also their was no deployment of driver's or passeger's side airbags. Cause unknown.
