Consumer Description

The second row center seat has a seatbelt that has failed. The seatbelt will not retract and is completely inoperative. I contacted Tesla about this issue and they said that it is not covered under warranty and they want to charge me $1,133.00 to repair it. I cannot afford this, and I believe the manufacturer should repair this defect free of charge since this vehicle is only 5 years old.
