Without prior warning, front seat belts are locked and cannot be used. Consequently, I am unable to use the seat belts creating a safety issue. I took the car to the dealer and they want +$300 to fixed a "failed seat belt control timer module".
Driver and passenger seat belts are defective, they are in the locked position. Consumer is driving without seat belts because she cannot afford to have them replaced. The manufacturer denied the claim.
