| Description of the problem | I have had to have the seatbelt replaced twice in the last month on my new vw tiguan. The female connector that the tongue of the belt fits into has broken apart twice, requiring an entire replacement of the belt. This work was covered under warranty. The first time it broke when the loop of my pocket book caught on it. The second time it broke, all i did was move the driver's seat back in order to get out. |
