“The seat belt on front driver side fail and won't lock. I never know that until I notice it then bring it to dealership. There is no way to know it's fail if you never carefully check that. So it's really dangerous to drive.”

NHTSA complaint #10546249, filed 2013-09, 50,000 miles

“When putting on my driver side seat belt I heard this strange grinding noise from my seat belt. It did not seem to keep me secure in the seat. When I started to drive I moved forward it did not lock like it should to keep you in your seat. I took it to the dealer and was advised I needed a new one. Which will run $491.00. My car only has 36230 miles on it. This seems to be a safety concern. I cannot drive a car without fully functioning seat belts so I am forced to pay the cost. I think the company should replace it since there are so few miles on the car.”
