Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Whenever a passenger is seated in the rear seat (either side) and the car is braked or experiences a bump in the road, the seat belt locks and starts to tighten thereafter with a ratcheting sound each time the passenger moves even a little bit. This tightening continues until the passenger starts suffocating from the pressure. When this happens, the only option is for the passenger to unbuckle the seat belt and start over. But then the process repeats itself. My family members now either refuse to ride in the back seat or they do not buckle the seatbelt and hold it in their hand instead. …”
