“2002 V70 malfunctioned in rear seat belts in my car. Two of the three seat belts in the rear of the vehicle locked and could not be released. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer disassembled the rear seats and manually eased the locked seat belts. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure and believed that it would rec. As the technician eased the locked seat belt and alarm chimed on the dash which said srs air bag service urgent.”
NHTSA complaint #10160500, filed 2006-06, 51,640 miles“I have had several failures of the child restraint system. A switch on the seat belt allows tesion to remain in the lap section of the seat belt. This tension secures child seats into the car by preventing motion. The entire force on this restraint (in the lap section) is transferred thru a small section of plastic which can crack and break easily. Without tension in the lap section of the belt, child safety seats are not firmly secured allowing motion should an accident occur.”
NHTSA complaint #10016813, filed 2003-05, 30,000 miles“Seat lowered to allow loading of large item. Upon trying to put the seat back upright, the seat belt retractor would not release forcing the seat to remain in the down position until brought to the dealer for repair. As a result of the failure, I was unable to properly re-mount child car seats.”
NHTSA complaint #756562, filed 2002-01“The female receptacle for the right seat is to the left of the male connector for the center seat so if there are three people in the rear the person on the right cannot buckle the seat into the female part because the strap for the center seat is obscuring it.
