Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We ran into a curb at about 40 MPH. My 3 year old daughter's car seat which was attached to the seatbelt behind the driver, detached (the clasp from the buckle) and my daughter and the car seat were thrown forward into the back of the driver's seat. About 3 weeks after this incident, the seatbelt retractor on this seat no longer retracted. In addition, the front passenger seatbelt retractor also would no longer retract. Both of these have been replaced. I checked the database and there was both a recall on seatbelts and a technical advisory related bulletin. …”
