Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driver seat malfunctions, it jams and I can not get it unjammed. The dealership replaced the belt. 7 days later it jammed again. Dealer said they will not fix it again. They say it is over spooling. The seat belt needs to work at all times. State law requires a seat belt on to drive. When it jams I can not drive.”
NHTSA complaint #10086571, filed 2004-08, 5,000 miles“I traded my 2005 ford focus 26410 miles to wade raulerson Gmc on october 3, 2007 wrote two checks in the amount of 500.00 each that they held for four weeks for a down payment. We looked at a 2004 Gmc envoy with 65,000 miles the salesman quoted us a price of 17,000 so we did the paper work the first time on the 16th we were called in again and told we had to sign more documents this time the price of the envoy rose to 21698.35, I asked about my 05 focus was told it sold the next day and we had to have gap protection. Payoff on my car was 12,502.95 and it looked as if they were giving me 14900. …”
NHTSA complaint #10245815, filed 2008-10, 68,000 miles“I am renting a Gmc envoy. When I first got into the car I noticed that the seat belt hit my neck at a not-too-comfortable spot but I didn't really think much about it...until yesterday when I turned my head and body in such a way that the very sturdy seat belt cut my neck. It's not a big deal, only a scratch but if I hadn't just been casually turning my head, if I had braked suddenly or been in a collision, I'm not so sure. I know it's not a big deal but please put my letter in the pile so if other people have this problem something can be done about it. Thanks.”
