“Unknown. I believe the seat belts in my car do not provide the restraint necessary for my safety. Toke car to Dealer, who provided a vague explanation in an effort to convince me that there is a special way of pulling the seat belt all the way out and wait until they click to ensure they engage.

The dealer general requests that I request this service by text. …”
NHTSA complaint #11662318, filed 2025-05“I noticed all of the rear seats will show gray on the cluster indicating no occupants are in the seat, when a person is actually sitting there and is not buckled.

He gave me an estimate of $1000 because it requires disassembling the seat to remove the buckle. Now, I avoid using the vehicle to drop off my daughter. When I have to use the vehicle, I use the left-side buckle with the right-side strap. …”
