Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The front seatbelts fray near where the buckle secures the belt when in use. The seatbelt was replaced with oem parts for this reason. The new belt has frayed again over a short period of time. Others report similar problems, perhaps due to something rough abrading the belt somewhere along the belt path.”
