Example complaints

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

“The seat belt buckle receiver on the driver side breaks very frequently. The cables are very thin with small gauge strands so the strands shear at the internal mount point one by one until the entire cable breaks. This happens over the course of several months. This vehicle is a delivery van and the seat belt is buckled on and off many times. We have 20 of this type of vehicle and it is happening on many of them.”

NHTSA complaint #11311159, filed 2020-02, 15,000 miles
