Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Driver's seatbelt often fails to retract at top, leaving slack, which sometimes wraps itself around the seat adjustment lever. When pulling to adjust belt, lever can abruptly let go, causing loss of control due to driver suddenly losing support of seat. It's happened to me a few times now, always without incident, as I tend to get my seatbelt sorted out before I start driving.”
