    The steel cable on the support anchor to the seatbelt snapped while my wife was fastening it. This had a recall in 2014 and was fixed according to records. Chevrolet was contacted said problem was fixed, recall was closed, this is "normal wear and tear" this would be very dangerous in an accident. She was parked and getting ready to pull out of the driveway.

    I have had the power train repaired twice, once while under warranty, and then at cost. I have paid more than $2k on the repair and yet the check engine light stays on and a check of the error codes reveals the same problem. The vehicle has failed emissions testing as a result of the problem. I've seen numerous complaints on this site with the same issues. There's definitely a defect within this model year's engine…

    Coming out of highway exit, the stop light changed to red and my 7-year old child who i thought was restrained by the seatbelt was ejected forward. The driver seat stopped her from going into the front seat and cushioned her impact. I asked if she was ok and to move seats.

    Second row seat belt latches make it extremely difficult to install child seat in center of second row. Tried two different car seats, neither one fit between the buckles in the center position. In order to get the seat installed, i was required to roll up a small blanket or towel to fit between the latches in order to get the child seat up above the top of the latches. This disallowed me to use the actual seat belt…

    The 2nd and 3rd row seat belts are poorly designed. In order for an adult to sit in the back seats, they must sit sideways or the seat belt will dig right into their hips. It is so painful that putting on the seat belt at all only makes the problem worse. Also, it is extremely difficult to install a carseat in the back rows as well. Additionally, children have a very difficult time trying to fasten their seat belts…

    Second row seat belt buckles are stiff and make it extremely uncomfortable where passengers have to sit sideways so that the buckle doesn't hurt them, leaving them prone to injury in case of an accident. My mother bruised her hip after sitting in the second row when i had to brake hard after i was cut off by another drive. Almost everyone that sits in the middle of the second row refuses to put on their seat belt…
