“Seat belt twist into the re-tractor back of the seat and cannot be untwisted because the twist remains behind the seat from the floor to the top of the seat. Taken to the dealer but the dealer denies that this is possible claiming someone must have messed with them installing them backwards. I have another issue too with the seat mat on the passenger side throwing an error message where the airbag will turn off with a passenger in the seat. Dealership claims it's do to moister and refuses to fix it unless pay 1500 dollars. …”
