Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The seat belt is situated in a position to where it is regularly smashed against the striker plate on the door when the door is closed. This breaks the fibers in the belt thereby weakening the belt and making it very prone to breaking in the event of a frontal impact where the belt would be most needed.”
NHTSA complaint #11154403, filed 2018-11, 3,300 miles“Front seatbelts fail to retract properly causing them to become jammed between the doorlock and the body latch. Belts are becoming damaged and weakened. This has been a problem since vehicle was new, situation ongoing.”
