Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The driver's shoulder harness is fraying where it wears against the clip that inserts in the receiver to secure the belt. I don't believe this should happen in less than 6 years/70,000 miles. It may be happening in other vehicles, and if so, is potentially quite dangerous as the restraining harness could fail in an accident. I will contact the manufacturer next.”
NHTSA complaint #761875, filed 2002-05“Female end of seatbelt cable has broken. No unusual stress or accident just got in and found that female connector was only held on by 2 electrical cables.”
