Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Seat belt light on the dash turned on and continued flashing. The diagnosis read on it was tensioner on system restraint. Sensor was replaced but the srs light continued to flash and now has locked my seat belts. Driver's seat belt will not release so I have been having to drive without a seat belt. All wiring on sensors on the seat belt and under the seat have been checked and are fine so there must be a faulty sensor someplace or an electrical issue causing the seat belt to lock in place.”
NHTSA complaint #11398532, filed 2021-03, 142,000 miles“When accelerating or decelerating the driver and passenger seat belt locked up. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and the seat belts were replaced, but the problem still occurs.”
