Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Nothing we know of caused this failure except folding the rear seat down in the cargo position. When we raised the seat up the seat belt wouldn't release. Now we don't have a seat we can use and no operating seatbelt. I tried to get the roll to release then took it to a dealer who refused to warranty it since I tried to unjam it.”
NHTSA complaint #10352254, filed 2010-08, 84,750 miles“Transmission issues, shifting, stop bump. Headlight issues wiring and hid ballast. Engine Evap work done. Back drivers side seat belt locking mechanism faulty. Knocking clinging under carriage in suspension areas.”
NHTSA complaint #11471592, filed 2022-06“Passenger restraint system failed to allow the belt to be pulled from the retractor far enough for the clip to secure in the latch. Intermittent problem began with the front passenger restraint after 1 month of use, 'locking up' at a different length with each attempt. Attempts are always made with the car at a complete stop. Problem has increased in frequency and severity over time. After 2 months of use the problem is constant, often taking over 15 attempts to extend the belt fully. On one occasion, the belt wasn't allowed to extend from the retractor any distance at all. …”
