NHTSA Complaint #715842 — 2000 SUBARU LEGACY

PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT BELT IS TOO SHORT FOR THE INDIVIDUALS THAT I DRIVE AROUND. I'VE CALLED THE DEALER AND SUBARU'S CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO ACCOMIDATE THIS PROBLEM. MY PASSENGERS AND MYSELF, WHEN I'M THE PASSENGER, CANNOT US THE SEAT BELT. WHEN THE SEAT BELT DOES FIT, AND YOU ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT LOCKS UP AND LOCKS YOU IN PLACE, AND YOU CAN NOT MOVE. YOU MUST REMOVE THE BELT AND THEN REATTACH. SUBARU HAS REFUSED TO RAISE THE RECEIVER ON THE BELT WHICH WOULD ALLOW EXTRA ROOM. IN ORDER FOR ME TO KEEP THIS CAR AND OPERATE IN A SAFE MANNER ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO ACCOMODATE PLUS SIZE INDIVIDUALS
