| Seat Belt problems |
Front two seat belts are difficult to latch to buckles. Even when they are buckled while the car is in motion they tend to unlatch by itself.
I have to add a quart of oil to car a day tul the motor blew.
The drivers seat belt does not engage. The engine has been burning oil, misfiring, and even after thousands in repairs was returned to me by the dealership with continued misfiring. When returning the car back to the dealer service center days later after hurricane helene, the car continued to misfire and became so overheated the engine light was flashing. Upon calling for a tow, I attempted to raise the hood for the driver to locate the car, but the hood was so hot it burned my hand. The engine was so hot, I believe it was about to catch fire and would have had I not been able to pull over so quickly. Had I been driving on the interstate, I have no doubt this car would have been on fire within minutes.
The passenger seatbelts do not tighten when there is a hard break. My engine is also consuming oil.
Drivers side front seat belt will not retract and is loose when the seat belt is in use while operating the vehicle.
The car was involved in a front end collision going about 35 mph. The collison was enough to bust the radiator and likely total the car. The entire front end is heavily damaged. There was a driver and front seat passenger in the vehicle at the time of collision. The seat belts did not lock nor did any airbag deploy.
Both front seat belts doesn't work. Stopped working at the same time. Are not twist. Are very hard to pull out and doesn't retract. Both.
