Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Design of female part of seat belt buckle on driver's side and passenger's side is down too far, which may discourage the occupants from using the seat belts. The seat belts are very difficult to fasten, especially on the passenger's side. Consumer claims poorly designed seat belt, and believes that manufacturer could install an adopter to solve problem.”
