NHTSA complaint #11035980, filed 2017-10“Fuel gauge never read full, on a full gas tank. Dealer replaced fuel sending unit, which resolved the problem. Driver's side seat belt gets caught on the release lever of the seat-back while seat belt is buckled. This severely restricts the of movement of the driver. When this happens, I am strapped very tight in the seat until I can manage to remove the seat belt part that is stuck to the release lever.”

Plastic guard is sharped edged, and has cut 1/2 into each seat belt. Showed to dealer during routine mtc. They claimed they hadn't seen anything like this ( did you close it in the door? No, we hardly use the back seats at all, since only two adults ride/drive this car. ) they agreed to one round of replacement under warranty, but we expect it may happen again.”
