Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Issue with correct fitting of manufacturer standard drivers seat seatbelt. Belt comes across my neck not matter what position the seat or belt is in. This is a serious concern for safety should an accident occur, my neck could literally snap. Not to mention it is very uncomfortable. The dealer has no resolution. The manufacturer must address this issue for me and other drivers, as a lawsuit will likely ensue for damages or death.”
