Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My car was parked in a parking lot. My friend took off his seat belt and as it was retracting, it locked. I tried to pull on it to see if it would unlock and it will not budge one bit. It is locked about half ways.”
NHTSA complaint #11119523, filed 2018-08, 106,012 miles“Takata recall. The drivers side seat belt was replaced under warranty the first time, as it was failing to return to default position properly. The seat belt was replaced a second time, after I was rear ended (it was failing to retract again at the time, identical to the first time I had to have it replaced under warranty), and crushed into the vehicle in front of me. I was at a full stop when the vehicle hit me from behind. That crash deployed both airbags. The front and rear bumpers were replaced due to that crash, along with the seat belt. …”
NHTSA complaint #11149915, filed 2018-11, 100,000 miles“The seat belt retractor may have a pin shaft in the switchable elr/alr mechanism that is incorrectly formed. In some circumstances, the switching mechanism could become nonfunctional, preventing the seat belt webbing from being extracted from the retractor. It is also possible that malfunction of the mechanism could prevent the belt from being switched into the alr mode. The elr mechanism is not affected by this condition.”
NHTSA complaint #10262263, filed 2009-03, 90,000 miles“Front seat belt retraction doesn't retract. It stopped retracting after the warranty was up. The front seat belt continue to non-retract so they get caught in the doors and chip paint and cause problems.”
NHTSA complaint #10478721, filed 2012-10, 10,000 miles“Dt: the contact state that front passenger seat belt will not come out all the way. Recall n99v250000 was issued on this problem. Dealer and manufacturer said this vehicle is not in the recall.”
