- Seat belts
I OWN A 1995 GMC VANDURA VIN # [XXX] WITH A DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT BUCKLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MID CAPTAIN CHAIR. THE BUCKLE IS INOPERATIVE AND THE PLASTIC COMPONENTS IN THE BUCKLE MECHANISM HAVE CRYSTALLIZED AND CRUMBLED. THERE HAS BEEN NO ABUSE OR MISUSE INVOLVED IN THE FAILURE. SEAT BELTS ARE LEGALLY REQUIRED AND AS A SAFETY ISSUE I CANNOT USE THIS SEAT. I HAVE ADDITIONAL CONCERN THAT THE OTHER BUCKLES ARE ALSO DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE. IF THEY FAIL IT WILL RENDER MY VAN, WHICH IS USED FOR TRAVEL AND TRIPS, UNUSABLE. *NLM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I OWN A 1995 GMC VANDURA VIN # [XXX] WITH 62,000 MILES. FOUR OF THE SIX SEATBELTS ARE INOPERABLE AND NOT DUE TO MISUSE OR ABUSE. MY ISSUE IS THAT THE STATE I LIVE IN LEGALLY REQUIRES SEAT BELTS AND I ALSO TRANSPORT MY TWO CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE AND AS IT IS NOW I CAN NOT USE MY VAN. I WOULD THINK THAT SEAT BELTS SHOULD LAST AT LEAST THE AVERAGE LIFE OF A VEHICLE OR 100K MILES.*AK INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
