NHTSA complaint #10126852, filed 2005-06, 36,488 miles“The seat belt for the middle row seats on the passenger side will not pull out. The mechanic kept working with it until he was able to pull it out. He determined that it was not twisted and ordered a new assembly. It is on back order. In the meanwhile, the seat belt malfunctioned again and this time the mechanic could not pull it out. I had to fold up the second row of seats and carry my cargo in the middle until the seat belt is replaced. ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12-12-02 cut over to artemis***763142”
