Example complaints

“Front seat belt laches are difficult to latch. They also come unlatched by themselves periodically while driving. I have two Bmw's an 87 325e and an 89 325I that have both had this problem. It is very unnerving to wonder whether the lach on the seatbelt will hold you if you have an accident.”
