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.
While travelling at an approximate speed of 45/50, I had reason to rapidly decrease forward and apply more than normal brake action to avert another vehicle that had overrun a stop sign. My wife, who was in the front passenger seat and properly belted, was thrust forward to a point where her right shoulder made contact with the dashoard and her head made light contact with the windshield. She was shaken but had no noticeable injury at that time.we drove home, and during that 7 mile trip we decided to recheck the belt action. On several instances we accelerated to 45/50 and commenced hard braking action to check whether we could duplicate the previous seat belt failure. Of the times that we performed this action, the seat belts failed over half the time. This time I realized that the drivers belt was also failing.dealer was notified and an appointment was made. Nlm
The tensioning clip for the rear and passenger side seatbelts has failed twice since purchase. These clips are made of hard plastic and have srings inside to provide tension to keep belt from slipping. The clips are manufactured in two pieces and snap together. I do not believe that these clips would hold up in a crash and would fail, allowing passenger and car seats to move foward.
