Description of the problem | Seatbelt harness entrapped by seat control buttons, results in driver being dangerously and unexpectedly pushed into steering column. Reported to mfr who could not remedy and would not release from lease obligation. New 2000 model redesigned with controls well away from seatbelt base, implying full knowledge of dangerous defect in previous versions. Am interested in other similar complaints as i seek legal remedy with my lease situation. Thank you. *ak |
