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

“I have a 2005 Chrysler Pt Cruiser and the middle seatbelt latch has become completely removed. I did not get in an accident the cause of this issue is unknown. Yesterday the right rear seatbelt buckle broke as well. Now I have one working belt in my back seat and two children. I am extremely dissatisfied and want to know what I can do about it. I have no confidence in the safety of this vehicle and I feel that seat belts should not malfunction let alone completely break for no reason.”
