Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was rear ended. Seat belt did not work as it should have,causing me to end up with a bad whiplash. The seat belt does not retract most of the time. I was never notified of thes defects.”
NHTSA complaint #10112745, filed 2005-03, 79,000 miles“The outer covers of all the seatbelts in the 3rd row have all fractured resulting in the inability to latch any of the seatbelts. . This sounds very similar to the Ford escape recall 03v507000. When the rear of casing fractured, the inner part of the seatbelt moved within the casing resulting in the inability to latch the seatbelt. Attempts at repair were unsuccessful.”
