NHTSA complaint #10010868, filed 2003-03, 145,000 miles“Female part of lap belt in bench seat is too long causing it to be hazardous. Not only is the belt over the rib cage but the hard piece of the belt is in the wrong place causing discomfort in normal driving. On an adult, it also fits wrong, it is so long it still allows the belt to come over high hip area. In a quick stop this could cause injury. Please inform me if anything comes up to get this fixed!!!”
NHTSA complaint #709062, filed 1999-07“The safety restraint system (seat belts) in the rear seats have a long plastic sleve on the female end, this plastic sleve does not allow proper tightening for a infant and young child safety seat, in order to properly tighten a child seat down you have to cut the plastic sleve off and then twist the female receptical as many times as you can to create a shorter end so that long female receptical will be down in the groove of the seat far enough so that the belt can be pulled tight and the receptical will not hinge on the child seat installation holes. …”
