About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
This vehicle has a passive restraint system (seatbelts) in the rear seat. The upper strap of these 3-point belts emerge from rear platform beneath the rear window. The strap is guided through the platform by a plastic eyelet. This eyelet has a slot in the side facing the passenger. On at least six occasions that I can recall, my children have put on these seatbelts while sitting in the back. While pulling the belt forward, the strap pulls itself into the slot and continues down a matching slot in the seat-back. The belt then cannot be tensioned once the clip is attached. The belt remains loose around the wearer's waist, offering no protection during a crash.
