| Seat Belt problems |
2001 BMW Z3. Consumer writes in regards to several vehicle problems and unsatisfactory customer service from dealership. The consumer stated he purchased the vehicle on ebay. When the vehicle was arrived and then evaluated, he was informed the tires were over 10 years old, several lights were inoperable, both fog light and left parking and turning lights did not work. There was a crack in the dashboard, the seat belt guide on the driver's seat was broken, the seats slid forward when stopping which caused him, to unexpectedly step on the accelerator the rear window was scratched and faded to zero visibility, the main speaker was blown. In addition, a manifold hose required replacement due to a leak, the keys had to be reprogrammed to unlock the doors and trunk.
The passenger side seat belt malfunctions. The automatic tension does not work. Dealer has attempted to repair twice and told me this is just the way it is. It is unsafe as it does not tighten around passenger and provide adequate safety in the evenet of a crash.
