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.
Seat belts in rear seats fell fall apart when braking, consumer's grand child fell forward. Contacted dealer, and dealer was not willing to do anything.
This is mainly an inquiry regarding a failure in a seatbelt that has to be replaced. The dealer is saying that the seatbelt is not covered under the warranty as it is over the mileage limit. Since this is a safety item, we assumed it was covered by warranty for much longer. The rear seatbelts are rarely used. The car was rear ended by an SUV last year but it seems unlikely that was the cause of the failure as it was used a couple of times after the car was repaired.
