Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Getting ready to leave a restaurant after business dinner, reached for seat belt and it was not attached to the car. The bolt was completed dislodged, and the seat belt was just hanging there. This is a big concern because I could have been driving the vehicle earlier that day or possibly for weeks with a faulty self belt, giving me a false sense of security. The dealership wanted either us or a dealer representative to drive the vehicle to be fixed. We said absolutely not, it needs to be towed. Seems to me they don't understand that you cant drive a vehicle without a working seat belt. …”
