Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We recently installed a child seat in the left back seat of our Toyota Corolla and I noticed that there is a twist in the belt when it is buckled. By comparing it to the other seat belts, I traced the problem to the buckle, which was sitting on the belt in a reverse position. I tried to reverse the buckle by folding the seat belt strap in the slot. However, the slot width is only narrow enough to allow a single seat belt strap to be threaded through it. I therefore concluded that it was installed in this position at the factory. …”
