1984 CHEVROLET CAMARO — Complaint #784299
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SEAT BELTS:FRONT:WEBBING filed April 28, 2010
NHTSA complaint #784299 (ODI reference 10327973) concerns a 1984 CHEVROLET CAMARO and was filed on April 28, 2010. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 15, 2010. The vehicle had 132,050 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Wyoming based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as seat belts:front:webbing, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET CAMARO cohort independently describe similar seat belts:front:webbing failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 1984 CHEVROLET CAMARO shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
MY 17 YEAR OLD SON [XXX], HAS A 1984 CHEVROLET CAMARO, AND TWICE THIS YEAR, HE AND I TOOK IT IN TO LARAMIE GM AUTO CENTER HERE IN LARAMIE, WYOMING AND ASKED THEM TO REPAIR THE SEAT BELTS ON RECALL # 85V169000. THE SERVICE MANAGER, NAMED MIKE TOLD ME AFTER EXAMINING THE BELTS THAT HE WOULD LOOK INTO IT, AND SAID HE WOULD CALL US WITH THE RESULTS. I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT [XXX] RECENTLY GOT A TICKET FROM THE WYOMING HIGHWAY PATROL, FOR A DEFECTIVE SEAT BELT, AND SHOWED THE TICKET TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, MIKE. I ALSO SHOWED MIKE THE SEAT BELT RECALL, AND THE NEXT DAY MIKE CALLED US AND TOLD US THE REPAIR OF THE FAULTY SEAT BELTS WAS ALREADY REPAIRED ONCE, AND THAT IT IS GM POLICY THAT RECALLS WOULD ONLY BE REPAIRED ONCE TO EACH VEHICLE EFFECTED. I ALSO SHOWED MIKE THE VIN NUMBER, SHOWING HIM THAT THAT VIN NUMBER WAS ONE OF THE CAMAROS EFFECTED BY THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD BY MIKE THAT THE ONLY WAY THAT LARAMIE GM AUTO WOULD REPAIR THE SEAT BELTS WAS IF WE PAID THEM TO INSTALL NEW SEAT BELTS.
