Example complaints

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

“When I tried to fasten the driver's seat belt it wouldn't release. After two attempts to release the seat belt, it fully released without any tension on the seat belt. The driver's seat belt is completely useless as a restraining device since there is no tension.”
