Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“On two occasions a false fasten seat belt from passenger side has come up when the seat was not occupied. The car was sent for repair. On the first occasion it was indicated the wiring is loose for the seat belt harness so it was tightened. On the second occasion the car was sent to dealership it was diagnosed that the harness wiring track could come loose and therefore had to be rerouted.”
