Example complaints

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

“This is the second time its happened but today while I was already out my driver side seat belt will not release. No matter what I do, the seat belt will not release. Therefore I had to drive home without a seat belt, which is scary. This same exact thing happened before and I had it fixed at the dealership. I've not had any accidents or anything that would affect the seat belt.”

NHTSA complaint #11528743, filed 2023-06

“Owner of a 2017 Buick Envision that the front driver’s side seat belt strap has started to fray along the seat belt which could fail in a crash. It seems that the male seat belt connector maybe causing the fraying. The current mileage on the 2017 Envision is 41,497 miles. The local dealer was notified when scheduling an appointment for service.”
