This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The right rear seat belt anchor nut came off the stud. It is appearent that the nut was improperly installed and vibrated off during travel. The problem was detected when my daughter tried to fasten the safety belt after a stop for lunch.
Vehicle has gen3 seatbelts in the middle and back. This seatbelt is very easy to accidentally become unlatched, and does not pass the 30mm ball bearing test (I tried this at home). I have three children and am concerned about accidental release of these belts by carseats moving around, elbows, etc. I would like to have these belts replaced by the newer gen4 design.
We want NHTSA to do something about the gen 3 seat belts in our car. Hopefully, we will not experience a failure of this part, as others have, since we depend on these belts to protect our children. Please look into the abcnews report about these defective belts, asap, and do what it takes to keep our children safe.
