Example complaints

“I bought the car from a dealer of repossessed vehicles and shortly after noticed that all 3 of the rear seatbelts would not buckle. If you shake the buckle around vigorously on one of them, it will buckle, but not the other 2. I am worried for others safety and know that seatbelts are important, so I choose to not carry more than one passenger, and they sit in front. I am planning on getting them replaced soon, but figured it must be a manufacturing issue, considering it affects all 3 rear restraints.”
