We bought our car on 11/7/2020,2 days after starting the messages appear on the screen (service safety restraint system) car and on my phone, this always happen when in motion, on a city or highway doesn't matter where you're driving. We have no idea what could cause the problem cause only had 2 miles when took it out from the dealer. I feel that is a defective product installed on the vehicle. Also the passenger seat doesn't move to be adjusted. Went to the dealer a week ago but still waiting for call back to made the repair.
