Example complaints

This initially caught me off guard several times. It is a repeatable problem. …”

The seatbelt does not retract properly and frequently becomes caught in the door. In addition, the retractor fails to pull the seatbelt back completely, leaving slack in the belt. More concerning, there have been multiple instances where the seatbelt did not properly engage or lock when braking was applied, even though it was securely fastened. …”
