Consumer Description

AFTER THE PASSENGER WOULD VACATE THE CAR THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT ALARM WOULD COME ON AND STAY ON TILL I WOULD TAKE ACTION BY HITTING THE SEAT WITH MY PALM. I TRIED THREE TIMES IN HAVING THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE SEAT PAD SENSOR WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT. AFTER THE WARRANT EXPIRED I RETURNED IT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEN THEY SAID IT WAS A DEFECTIVE SEAT PAD SENSOR. (UGH)
