| Seat Belt problems |
Passenger side seat belt retracts slowly but sometimes not at all. Driver side retracts slowly.
Headlights: have deplorable visibility, particularly around corners making it nearly impossible to see at night. It is grossly dangerous, and unacceptable to equip a vehicle with such low quality headlights. However, on January 13th 2024 the hi beams ceased to function at all, which has left me unable to drive at night. As a single mother this is a huge hinderance for my young sons and their activities especially this time of year getting dark at 4:30pm. Driver seatbelt malfunction: the seatbelt has all but completely failed to retract upon removal, leaving the entire thing loose causing to twist and get caught in the door. It will not retract upon collision which also is a priority safety concern. Driver side mirror: gets stuck in the folded position, and more times than not, I then have to manually unfold it. This causes the saved position for my optimal rear visibility to get comprised and I then have to adjust while driving which is also dangerous. The dealer has addressed this and said the wiring was loose to the mirror inside the driver door and assured me they fixed it, however is still getting stuck 90 percent of the time.
Driver side middle seat, seat belt will not retract back in. The rear 3rd row seat roof belt does not retract very well at all either.
Front passenger seatbelt doesn’t always lock into the clasp. Sometimes it clicks as if it is locked, and the seatbelt will release without anyone or anything pushing the release button.
