Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Seat belt won't release consistently. Pressing the release button in feels mushy and there is no release click. I had the release replaced, but same issue. Later models (2014) worked crisply. I asked if they could install a later model release in my car, but told that is illegal . Worried I might have trouble exiting the car in an accident.”
