Component | SEAT BELTS |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Vehicle was parked and when putting the rear seat down it caused the seat belt buckles to get stuck under the seat cushions with no way to get them out. Now the seat belts in the rear passenger seats cannot be used safely as there is no way to buckle passengers in with the buckle stuck under the seats. This to me is a safety risk and flaw in the design as there should be no way for the seat buckle to become stuck under the seat cushion especially not on a vehicle with under 40,000 miles. |
