Component | SEAT BELTS |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The seat belt will not retract nor lock up (tension) when stopping suddenly. I have taken it in to the dealership for this issue once already. They told my husband it was due to me yanking on the seatbelt. Which is something i do not do. I cannot even feed it back into the slot. I discovered the seatbelt would not lock up while exiting a parking lot. A vehicle turned in front of me and i had to slam on my brakes. I believe i was only going about 20 -25 miles per hour. I was barely able to stop myself from hitting the steering wheel. The seat belt never locked. This is a 2014, with a little over 49,000 miles. The seatbelt should not be having issues like this. Now it is going to cost me a good deal of money to fix. Being that this is a safety feature, i feel it should be covered from the manufacturer. |
