Consumer Description

DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT WILL NOT LATCH, I'M USING THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT FOR NOW. I CAN'T HAVE A PASSENGER IN MY CAR BECAUSE OF THAT BROKEN SEATBELT. THIS HAPPENED ALREADY BEFORE, MAYBE A YEAR AGO AND MERCEDES BENZ OF GEORGETOWN WANTED ME TO PAY FOR IT AFTER BEING FIXED BUT I INSISTED THAT IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AND I SHOULDN'T BE DRIVING FROM THEIR SHOP WITHOUT HAVING IT FIXED. SO FRUSTRATING SAFETY ISSUES THAT NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE CARE OF IT UNTIL SOMEBODY'S DEAD.
