| Post subject: | Vivaro seatbelts / sliding doors |
I have an 07 plated vivaro and have been fighting with vauxhall to pay the cost of two middle seat belts that i have had to replace after being stopped by vosa for damage to the webbing. This was caused by what i believe to be a design fault as the buckle dangles free and is long enough to hang out of the sliding door when slammed. This consequently has led to doors not shutting properly. Also i jave on numerous occasions had the sliding door come flying off when customers open them on a hill. and the interior lights come on and off whilst driving. All of these points have been raised and i think are obviously connected, but not so according to vauxhall who keep fobbing me off. I am hoping to see if, like vauxhall say that i am the only one complaining about the design. I already know of one other person who has had new belts fitted as well as bodywork done on the doors due to damage for the same problem. when i attempted to contact the district manager to find out why there was one rule for one and anouther for me, he stopped taking my calls. |

manufacturers will never admit to or rectify problems like that I used to have a vito both keys snapped off in the ignition barrel within 3 months an obviously faulty design all i got was a replacement barrell and when the central locking packed up after 6 months nothing i ran the vehicle for 5 years without any means of locking the doors ! No amount of letter writing etc got the vehicle sorted out In taxi use seatbelts do wear out quite quickly I usually have to replace them every 2 to 3 years so there is the heavy wear and tear argument that vauxhall could use |

I suspect there are many with similar problems. Why not register on a Vauxhall forum, there must be one and the lads on there will be able to tell you how common a problem it is? |
