One problem related to front seat belt has been reported for the 1997 Volvo 850. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Seat belts front they are very short and hit the driver in the neck I am 5 6 and heavy and have to use the extension. I do not think the seat belt is safe at all. It would cause injury in a crash. Feel the company should lower the seat belt fastener so it comes across the shoulders. The entender should not be necessary if enough seat belt was made available. Feel they should be required to correct this.
