Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We were notified of a recall involving the automatic safety belt assembly. We took the vehicle to the dealer and were given a small tube of lubricant to use on the tracks. Later, the driver's side shoulder harness failed and it was necessary to manually move it to the point at which it would normally be when the seat was occupied and the shoulder belt was in use. We have been operating this belt in this manual manner for over four years. The dealer claimed that they did not have to replace the parts involved if the vehicle had exceeded its economic life . …”
