2012 Volkswagen TIGUAN Seat Belts Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1074464
Internal NHTSA #	10597016
Manufacurer	Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Brand	VOLKSWAGEN
Model	TIGUAN
Model Year	2012
File date	09/06/14
Component	SEAT BELTS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Dangerous seatbelt design! The origin of the "lap" part of the seat belt is behind the seat, so the belt rides up onto my belly when i move seat forward to reach the pedals. Also the vertical portion of belt sits on my neck right over the carotid artery. For a 5'3' 110 pound person, the seatbelt will likely cause organ ruptures and possibly slice my neck during an accident! Suggest the anchor of the "lap" part is built on the side of the seat so the belt will always cross over the thighs regardless of seat position, and suggest the vertical part is allowed more adjustability. The current design of the seatbelt is too dangerous for smaller people!
