| Front Seat Belt problems |
Husband had a vehicle wreck, the car would not stop on snow. Contact felt tires were not right for climate. Had tires rotated and pressure checked regularly. Was told by manufacturer that the psi should be 35, but the door sticker indicated 29 psi. Tires did not work well in snow. Also, drivers side seat belt did not retract, and the back seat on passenger's side won't fold forward. Had back seat repaired once.
Due to the location of drivers seat belt attach point and the seatback adjustment handle the seat belt gets caught up on the handle, causing the seat back to release while driving. I contacted the dealer and the manufacturer and they replaced my seat even though it had the exact same desing. The seat belt continues to release the back of the seat if I forget to pull the seatbelt off of the handle.
