Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“This issue affects the seatbelt safety. When I try to latch the driver's seatbelt the release button is depressed and the seatbelt will not engage until I push the button down numerous times. The problem is time-consuming and very likely is a safety issue if the release button does not return to its normal position. This has occurred over the life of the vehicle and happens whether the vehicle is stationary or in motion.”
NHTSA complaint #11229900, filed 2019-07, 54,465 miles“The contact stated the lap and shoulder belt in the left rear seat had tightened, and locked, causing welts across the passenger's stomach. No medical attention was sought. As the seatbelt would not release, the seatbelt was cut, to release the passenger. The service dealer offered to replace the seatbelt. The manufacturer was not alerted.”
