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.
I just replaced the front passenger seat belt for reverse lock (unable to pull out) for the second time. No other belts are affected. Parked the car unhooked the belt. Upon returning the belt would not pull out. Which of course requires the passenger to not be restrained. The first time this happened I assumed the belt was worn out, or manufacturing defect. It was out of warranty so I replaced it myself. The replacement lasted about two years. Now I have to believe there is a defect in the system somewhere.
Front passenger seatbelt grabs frequently, hitting my wife in her neck or near it. Subaru dealer said it is okay. Occurs when I brake the car or go around corners. Usually, my own belt is not grabbing at these times.
The passenger air-bag on light illuminated and the fasten seatbelt warning sound was sounded even though there was nothing in the passenger seat. This has happened multiple times, the most recent at 21,793 miles.
