“My daughter was tangled when a seat belt got wrapped around her neck and would not loosen because it was in retract mode and it would only tighten more. I had to cut her out of the belt. Their should be a way to override the retraction on belts when this happens. The car was parked at the time and I was home and able to grab scissors. U don't know what I would of done if I was in the road as I don't keep scissors in my car. I do now though.”

“My vehicle whether stationary or in motion routinely does not chime for a passanger or driver without a seatbelt. The light does come on but it will only chime 10% of the time. I am not having issues with it chiming when there is not a person is in the seat. I am concerned this is a life safety issue with my vehicle since if I am driving and my passanger takes off there seatbelt it does not alert me with sounds. It also does not alert me woth sound if I myself forget to apply my seatbelt. I have called and spoken to the dealership and taken my vehicle in multiple times. …”
