i have a Chevy Celebrity 1989..i have this problem with the seat belts..i live in Des Plaines,Illinois and i'd like to know which dealer can fix this problem or maybe sell this seat belt to change it.

Do you drive a 1989 CHEVROLET CELEBRITY?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
