| Seat Belt problems |
Driver seat belt is loose and does not retract all the way. It still enages in locked mode but it is very loose and needs to be manually pulled onto my chest to feel snug and secured.
: the contact stated that while the vehicle was under warranty it had problems with the seatbelt latch. The manufacturer was alerted who sent out a technician to observed the vehicle. The technician confirmed problms with the latch and suggested that the vehicle be taken to dealers with a service waiver signed off for repairs to the vehcile. While vehicle was being taken to the dealer, a collision with a deer was avoided by slamming on the brakes. This incident resulted in injuries to the driver's neck. When the vehicle was taken to the dealers they determined that a piece of plastic was lodged in the seatbelt causing the seatbelt to not be able to latch. The dealer offered to send the vehicle into the manufacturer for repaired. The contact traded the vehicle instead.
