Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving at any speed, the red seat belt light will intermittently flash. Just moving my bum from just getting comfy, the light will come on steady, then flash, then be accompanied by four chimes, then, go off. A few miles down road, at legal speeds, (doesn't matter the speed) the light will come on steady again, then flash, then chimes, then it goes out -- for awhile. Repeat this after a few miles and you want to drive it over a cliff...”
