Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Instead of a simple seat belt warning light staying on when the driver's side belt is not connected, the car uses a complicated system: The seat belt warning light will illuminate for approximately 6 seconds each time you place the ignition switch to the ON position regardless of belt fastening. However, if the seat belt is unfasted, a warning chime will sound for approximately 6 seconds. If you continue not to fasten the seat belt and you drive over 6 mph the warning light will stay illuminated. …”
