Example complaints

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

“The driver's side seatbelt does not always stay latched in place. Whether or not the latch is connected, it shows that the seatbelt needs connected and the chime continuously rings, when the vehicle is in motion. Worried whether this will affect other safety features, in the vehicle. Especially the airbag. This issue started on july 27, 2020.”

NHTSA complaint #11342702, filed 2020-08, 68,000 miles

“My dash indicates that there is a problem with airbags, service engine soon, tire, and brakes. My controls on the steering wheel will not work. My seat belt doesnt stay hooked. I sometimes smell like a oil burning smell. Had to replace oil housing. And suspension feels very loose. My vehicle is not in recall, but make and model are with all recalls needing fixed. What do I do now?”

NHTSA complaint #11492740, filed 2022-11

“The back seat belt wrapped around my daughters neck and the lock mechanism would not release and every time she pulled on it the belt got tighter until the point she fainted and could have died had it not been for a passerby carrying an army knife, allowing us to cut the belt thereby freeing her. Almost a death situation out of the blue. This happened when we were driving and then stopped in a parking lot to release her.”

NHTSA complaint #11374364, filed 2020-11

“The contact owns a 2014 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated the rear driver's and passenger's seat belts were ripped. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and confirmed that the seat belts were ripped and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 47,000. The VIN was unavailable.”

NHTSA complaint #11524628, filed 2023-05, 47,000 miles

“Front driver and passenger seat belt spool malfunctions and does not retract seat belt, leaving too much slack to restrain driver or passenger in the event of an accident. Dealer charges $533.10 for parts and labor for seat belt replacement. Seat belt is not covered under warranty or by recall (there should be a recall for this). Like an airbag, this should be covered.”

NHTSA complaint #11180491, filed 2019-02
