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 passenger seatbelt indicator light fails to extinguish in the instrument panel when an adult passenger is seated with the belt is securely clicked. If I wiggle the latch, sometimes it will go out, but I wonder what effect this has on the passenger restraint system if the belt is indicated as unfastened. It seems the seatbelts should be warranted for the life of the vehicle and anything necessary to protect passengers should have no tolerance for erratic operation.
I had a person getting in and they attempted to fasten seatbelt and heard a pseudo click, but a few seconds later as I started to move, the warning sound started indicating the seatbelt was not fastened. The seatbelt seemed to be secure but something was not perceiving the buckle was fastened. I wonder if the airbags would function in this situation? this is also a car with the additional airbags installed because I have small children. I thought it was a good safety feature to have but now am told it is a liability.
