Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Female side of driver seal belt cover broke off 1-2 yeaers ago, so I have been buckling driver belt into passenger belt. Cover on female side broke off so any pressure applied to female side with a belt buckled into it releases the belt. The driver harness broke today where the shoulder harness meets the lap belt. Both pieces that broke were plastic. The belt may have been replaced under campaign 90c36.”
