Consumer Description

I AM REPORTING AN ISSUE ON SPORADIC "SQUEAKING" NOISE THAT COMES FROM BOTH FRONT SEAT BELTS SINCE PURCHASE OCT 2015. THE EVENT OCCURS WHEN DRIVER ACCELERATES OR DECELERATES OR GOES OVER SPEED BUMPS OR UNEVEN ROADS. THE ISSUE DOES NOT GO AWAY DESPITE MOVING THE SEATS BACK AND FORTH TO ENSURE PROPER ENGAGEMENT. (SEAT ADJUSTMENT IS MANUAL). THE ISSUE IS MORE PRONOUNCED IN COLD WEATHERS. THE "SQUEAK" EVENT STOPS WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS UNBUCKLED. THE ISSUE OCCURS WHEN THE BELT IS BRACED AGAINST DRIVER WHEN HAPPENS DURING ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION AND GOING OVER UNEVEN ROAD OR BUMPS. THESE SQUEAK ARE NOW LOUDER THAN AFTER PURCHASE AND MORE ANNOYING EVEN THOUGH THE SQUEAKS COME ON SPORADICALLY.
