Example complaints

“The driver side seat belt buckle would not come free. I had to jiggle out of the seat to exit the vehicle. When taken to the dealership they told me the part was going to cost me $39 to replace not including labor. I had to pay to fix since my wife could not drive the vehicle without the seatbelt working correctly. It started to lock up once in a while and you just had to be slow when unbuckling the seatbelt. Now it would not unlock at all. Vehicle has been good over the years with only one other issue the dealership corrected three time before being hassle free. …”
NHTSA complaint #10374749, filed 2011-01, 125,137 miles“I was in a low impact wreck--no damage to my 2001 Nissan Quest van. My 7 year old son was in the very back bench seat on the passenger side. When I slammed on my brakes to avoid being hit by the other vehicle my son's seat belt released and he went flying into the front passenger seat and then hit the side door. I want an explanation as to why the seat belt buckle failed in a low impact crash. I will be taking it to a dealership to get it looked at. My son was injured in the crash and had to be transported to a trauma unit.”
NHTSA complaint #10203173, filed 2007-09, 148,000 miles“I put the driver's side seat belt on and can not get it off, it's stuck. I can not get out of my seat belt. It will not unbuckle. I had to wiggle out of it to exit the vehicle. If I were in a wreck I would've died in that seat belt. I still cannot unbuckle it. I have to slip into the shoulder part to even drive the vehicle. My auto mechanic told me that something was wrong with the spring inside the little mechanism that holds and/or releases the seat belt buckle. He said he wasn't touching it. He said to take it to the dealership. I will do that tomorrow. …”
NHTSA complaint #10183843, filed 2007-02, 108,000 miles“My middle drivers seat belt clip has broken. About 3 months ago the sleeve it is in started to slip and come loose. Until it finally came off and feel apart. I went to the dealer, at first they told me it was not under warranty then when I told him it had a lifetime warranty he checked on it and scheduled me with a service appointment in a week. When I brought it in for service, I was told they needed to order a part and it would take a week or so. It has now been 16 days and I have not been told the part is in. When I called they put me to parts, but no one answered after 5 minutes. …”
