Consumer Description

THE PLASTIC SURROUND AROUND MY SEAT BELT IS DEFECTIVE. THE PLASTIC TABS HAVE BROKEN FROM NORMAL USAGE AND THE SURROUND NOW IMPEDES EITHER LATCHING OR UNLATCHING, AND THE SEAT BELT COMES UNLATCHED WHEN IT APPEARS TO BE PROPERLY LATCHED. OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR/MODEL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, AND THE SAME ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE SEAT BELTS ON THE SAME VEHICLE. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE (1) THE SEAT BELT EITHER APPEARS TO BE LATCHED WHEN IT IS NOT; OR (2) THE SEAT BELT WILL NOT UNLATCH WHEN THE RELEASE IS DEPRESSED, PREVENTING OCCUPANTS FROM EGRESSING THE VEHICLE QUICKLY IF NEEDED. THE TABS HOLDING THE PLASTIC SURROUND ARE TOO SMALL AND ALLOW THE BUCKLE TO FLEX AND JAM, OR THEY BREAK OFF AND INTERFERE WITH THE LATCH MECHANISM.
