Just like the title says. I am going to take it in to have it fixed, but is anyone else experiencing this? I have to flip it four or five times for the seat belt to actually retract. It's pretty annoying. I didn't find any topics relating, so I thought I would ask if it's just me.

Hi WalksAlone,

Thanks Grumpy.

I noticed today the plastic trim on the B pillar by the seat belt holder is all nicked up from me grabbing the seat belt to pull it over my shoulder every day. Just like my center console plastic trim. It scratches if you look at it wrong. It looks fancy, but damages so easy.

I have a similar issue with both rear seatbelts on a 2014 Silverado. I have only owned the truck for 6 months, but I have two young kids who sit in the back and I constantly have to make sure their belts are tight. And when they get out of the truck they're constantly slamming the belt in the door because it won't retract. Took it to the dealership and they charged me $120 just to look at them, then said it would be almost $500 to replace both recoilers because they are binding. Seems ridiculous that a 4 year old truck has this problem and that they're not being replaced under warranty because it's a safety concern? If the recoilers are binding up already, I say that's a design issue. I've owned 15 year old vehicles that never had this problem.

Same here. Drivers rear sticks for my son all the time. I called the dealer and asked about safety and they gave me that ridiculous price too. Not covered by any kind of safety recall.

I’d be reporting this to the NHTSA.  Wouldn’t be surprised though if nothing comes of it. Suspect NHTSA has been paid off handsomely for decades now to bury the plethora of serious safety issues in GM vehicles.

Have a 2017 GMC Sierra rear middle seat belt won’t retract guess what 120 miles out of warranty and we have to pay to get it fixed. Bad part it has not worked in 2 years but my husband is a procrastinator and didn’t take it in so we are going to attempt it our selves.

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
