| Description of the problem | I had 3 people in the back seat but the center seat belt would not stay locked from the start. This didnt change regardless of how many times it was attempted. It has since been replaced by dealer because i complained it was a safety issue when i have 3 people in the back seat. The car has always had a small gradual drift to the right. Dealer didn't find anything. Later i had the alignment done by someone else. They showed me both front and rear driver side tires could not be aligned to true. They said the front will be fixed by new strut but back is a straight axle that cant be aligned. The car always drifted right and still does. I bought the car from the dealer with 10 miles on it |
