Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The seat belts do not retract. It takes over 10 minutes for them to retract once you unfasten them. My seat belts were replaced while under warranty and the problem was still not corrected. I was told that is how they work . I am now having problems with them locking while driving. The locking is not triggered by anything that we have found it just won't move when you try to. You can't move unless you undo the seat belt wait for it to retract and then refasten it. When you unfasten it there is a clicking noise as it retracts. …”
