Example complaints

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

“I own a 1998 Ford taurus station wagon. The rear seat belts lap and both shoulders have gotten jammed in the side compartments twice and were unusable. I had it reapaired once at no cost at a local repair shop. Both rear door panels are coming apart also. This is not normal wear and tear. I take good care of my vehicles and have never owned a car where door started to separate. I brought the issue up to Ford dealership and they said they would repair it for $300.00 and up each seatbelt. I explained it was a saftey issue and they simply said it was no longer under warranty. …”
