Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was unable to insert the driver's seat belt into the latch. Repeated attempts failed. Finally, I was able to latch the belt by first depressing the red latch release button and then inserting the seat belt. Since that time the seat belt will no longer insert unless the red release button is pressed and held during insertion. The vehicle was purchased in november of 2007 and the warranty has expired.”
NHTSA complaint #10515677, filed 2013-06, 49,500 miles“My husband was putting on the passenger side seat belt and it was really loose and failed to retract. We were in the parking lot of wal mart and he had to go without wearing a seat belt due to its failure to work properly.”
NHTSA complaint #10557393, filed 2013-12, 92,000 miles“During an accident in november of 2015 I received substantial injuries as a result of the airbag not inflating or the seatbelt engaging. I spoke with the body shop as to why neither system worked as designed, they could not answer this question. They believed that the sensors were compressed to engage the air bags but it did not engage. They also noted that when I hit the brakes the seatbelts should have locked which would have kept me stationary instead of allow me to hit the driver door jam above the steering wheel. Both vehicles were in motion. …”
