| Component | SEAT BELTS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The car does not detect a properly fastened seatbelt sometimes and the seatbelt will not adjust automatically even when properly fastened. Both driver and passenger side seatbelts are affected. Took the car to the dealership twice for the same problem and the seat belt malfunction continues. In my opinion, this is a major safety issue for drivers since the airbags do not activate when the car is unable to detect that seat belt has been fastened. Please investigate. See repair invoice from dealership that includes the description of the problem and what was done to fix it. Unfortunately, the seatbelt malfunction still continues. |
