Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Drivers lap seat belt will not retract. While extending it to buckle, a noise like a tape measure rapidly closing was heard, then it would not retract. It extends out to its full extent, and is apparently worthless in case of an accident.”
