Example complaints

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

“The seatbelt buckles stick when trying to eject. The buckle clasps have to be pushed down and wiggled a few times to unclasp. This is a serious safety issue because it's impossible to exit the car quickly. This is all belts in the car. This has happened since the car was new and has gotten worse.”

NHTSA complaint #10671532, filed 2015-01
