Seat Belt problem #1

There seems to be an issue with the seatbelt sensors; we have noticed that when operators and passengers buckle-in before starting-up the vehicle, once the vehicle is started it does not register that seatbelts are on/in use and the dashboard displays the dashboard seatbelt warning light, requiring the occupants to remove and re-engage their seatbelts a couple times till the sensors register properly . Another concern we have observed is that at times we will be driving through short distances, then suddenly it will feel forced as one puts the foot on the gas, while on drive (d), and it will not go smoothly as it should (almost as if it became stuck on a different gear?). We have had to safely pull-over, then turn the vehicle off and back on for the issue to self-correct. Year: 2025 manufacturer: Nissan model: Pathfinder.

Seat Belt problem #2

Unknown subject: safety concern regarding rock creek model seatbelt design I am writing to formally report a serious safety concern regarding the seatbelt design used in the Nissan rock creek model. Specifically, the seatbelt in this vehicle includes a plastic insert that is stitched directly into the belt. This configuration appears unusual when compared to standard seatbelt construction and, in my view, raises significant questions about its safety and performance in the event of a collision. My primary concern is whether this particular seatbelt design, including the stitched-in plastic insert, has undergone full crash-testing and safety validation. Seatbelts are critical life-saving devices, and any nonstandard configuration can introduce potential failure points. Before continuing to use this vehicle, I would like written confirmation that this design meets or exceeds all applicable federal safety standards, including fmvss 209 and 210, and that it has been tested under conditions representative of a real-world crash scenario. I am deeply concerned that this feature may pose a hazard to vehicle occupants if it compromises the belt’s ability to lock, restrain, or distribute force correctly during an accident. For this reason, I respectfully request a prompt, detailed response. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your explanation and confirmation regarding the safety of this system.
