In July, 2001 I purchased a 2001 Chevy Blazer. In January 2006 the vehicle's Driver's side seat belt would no longer buckle. I contacted GM approximately 22 times via email asking for their assistance repairing this safDespite my patience and willingness to cooperate with Chevrolet to find a solution to my broken seat belt, there has not been a reasonable solution to my situation. I have sent Chevrolet two letters via US Certified Mail. I continue to drive without a working seat belt despite my on-going requests for for emergency assistance from GM. My life and well-being are at risk due to GM's lack of concern. My vehicle's warranty does not end on the calendar until July, 2006. I have repeatedly told GM I am disabled and suffering from a terminal illness. I am dependent on Social Security and Disability benefits. I cannot afford to fix a defective seat belt. That is the responsibility of the manufacturer. I'm NOT asking for something mundane like the radio or Air Cond. to be fixed. THIS IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT THAT GM ABSOLUTELY REFUSES TO REPAIR>

#3 Consumer Suggestion
Lifetime seat belt warranty
AUTHOR: Mark - (U.S.A.)

I know many manufacturers have a lifetime seat belt warranty, Honda and Toyota as an example. I would check to see if GM does

#2 Author of original report
My warranty was five years/50,000 miles

Some people on this website amaze me. There are actually people making excuses for the largest corporations in the world.
I'm a smart boy. I read my contracts. I was offered a special incentive warranty. It was indeed for five years/50,000 miles. There is no third party. This is not an "extended" warranty.
Two months prior to this seat belt fiasco I had my brakes repaired. There was faulty electronics. The warranty covered the cost of the brake repair. No more than 1000 miles were put on after the brake repair was made. There were thousands of miles left until the warranty expired. Don't you get it?
If you don't know what you're talking about, it's probably best not to contribute to the conversation.

If you bought the vehicle in July 2001, you warranty would have expired by July 2004, if not earlier, depending on when it first started getting miles put on it.
If you have an extended service contract (GMPP, etc..), then your complaint would be with them. There is no way your 2001 Blazer is still under the manufacturer's 3/36 warranty.
And, if it's such a great safety risk, why don't you get it repaired yourself, then talk to GM about assistance. If you've contacted them that much (22 emails), and they stil haven't helped, it sounds like there is no coverage left on your truck.
