What domy seatbelt buckle's electronic connectors do on my TX Chevy?

 

A: The electronic connection points at each connector end of a securely buckled seatbelt help tell your Texas Chevy whether the seatbelt is securely fastened or not. If the electronic signal from the connector points indicates an unfastened or an insecurely fastened seatbelt at an occupied seat, your car is programmed to warn you.

The warnings include audio and visual signals that you might find somewhat irritating. The annoyance factor is intended to get you to fasten your seat belt to help increase your safety and prevent injuries in the event that you should have a car wreck.

Occasionally, a manufacturing defect in the car will incapacitate this warning system. If you rely on your car's warning system to help remind you to buckle up, such a defect could severely endanger your safety.

GM issued a recall on certain 2012 Chevy Colorado vehicles and GM Canyons for this very defect. The defect causes these particular vehicles to fail federally mandated occupant crash safety standards. Being in a car wreck without a seatbelt or with an insecurely fastened seatbelt gravely increases your risks of catastrophic impact injuries, ejection from your vehicle, and death.
So be sure to wear your seatbelt when on the Texas roads. And if you own one of the vehicles subject to the GM recall, be sure to take it in for repair by the dealer. The repair is free.
If you suffer injuries because of a seatbelt defect, you might be eligible to receive full financial compensation for your injuries from the wreck. Contact our Texas auto defect lawyers for a free consultation. We'll tell you how.
