Example complaints

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

“The driver side seat belt failed. I called the dealership and asked if there was a warranty on the seatbelt and was told no. I'm think I've heard somewhere that all seat belt had a lifetime warrently? I'm not sure if this is correct. And wondered if anyone else has had the same problem as I do with the seat belt. It does not recall or does it tighten when I break hard. Now it does nothing but flap across my chest. Please let me know if there has been a recall for this specific model. Thank you in advance, susan pham.”
