Example complaints

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

“On the way to school this morning (2/8/2019), my 11 year-old daughter mentioned her seat belt broke (rear driver seat). She moved to the other side of the backseat (rear passenger seat). Once we were stopped, I realized what she meant by broken: the seat belt had completely frayed, broke completely and pulled apart from it's internal housing. Upon further inspection, all three seat belts in the back seat have fraying. The one she mostly used was completely broken. The rear passenger seat belt is not used as often so the fray/cut is about 1/3 of the width of the seat belt. …”
