Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My daughter over-corrected and rolled the car 4 times, which she was ejected on the first roll, because the driver side seatbelt failed to hold her in. She has marks on her neck showing where the seatbelt burned her before failing to hold her inside the car. She has over 200 stitches in her body, luckily no broken bones or internal injuries. It appears the driver side door came open also, possibly the exit point, she doesn't know where she was ejected from.”
