This is about my brand new Acadia. One of the seatbelt locks of the second row is missing. I did report the issue to the GMC local dealer and they’re to replace the missing lock, however, I was expecting to get GMC to take immediate action as this is a major safety concern. I have received no communication back from them yet. I’ve got the vehicle in Tijuana Mexico and typically drive it in both California USA and Baja California Mexico.

passenger side seat belt does not buckle. The receiver piece for the buckle gets jammed and does not latch. My wife and I just had a baby and we are concerned about all the seat belts now, not sure if the others will give out as well.
