I've had plenty of GMC in the bay over the years, and the seatbelt complaints on these don't surprise me. 126 on the NHTSA record across 22 model-year entries (2007–2022) is not a fluke. The complaints are spread across the lineup — no single model is doing all the work. That tells you it's an engineering or supplier pattern, not a one-off bad year. 8 injury reports on the record — not a category to wave off. Average shop fix runs about $500 — not catastrophic, but it adds up over time. Drive it across the conditions it will actually see — heat, cold, highway, stop-and-go. Pattern complaints surface under load, not in the dealer parking lot.
