| Seat Belt problems |
I have had seat belt trouble. When I first bought the car it was weak to retract. Than 9 months later it gave out on me. I looked into it online and it turns out almost all these vehicles have this problem before 100,000 miles. There are dozens of forums in complaints plenty of people saying they have the problem to in each. Its a hazard that people are driving these cars and decide they don't have $500 to buy a seat belt retractor plus $200 in labor. Also it often leaves no warning that it won't retract. There will be an accident one day and someone will die and its because they didn't have the money to fix a seatbelt that should be working. Mine gave out of no where so when I was away from home if I would of gotten into an accident that's a problem worth fixing. My girlfriend is an emt and she says that a seat belt placed to high or too low can cause u to be crunched under the steering wheel or fly up over into the windshield. So one that goes loose on you while driving will cause serious injury because just the fact that there is moving space will cause you to wiggle loose from your seat.
