Complaints on fileComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Seat belts
Filed Sep 5, 2000
I ONLY USED THE SOFA REAR SEAT OCCASIONALLY. HAD A CHILD USING IT LAST FRIDAY AND HAD TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP. THE SEAT BELT CAME APART AND I FOUND THAT IT HAD BEEN PIECED TOGETHER WITH STAPLES. THE CONVERSION COMPANY REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. AFTER THEY FOUND OUT I ONLY HAD 14,000 MILES ON THE VAN, THAT AGREED TO SUPPLY THE PART, BUT THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE LABOR. I HAVE HAD THE VAN FOR 4 YEARS, BUT PREVIOUSLY ONLY USED IT TO TRANSPORT A HANDICAPPED CHILD IN THE FRONT OR MIDDLE AREAS. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THE CHILD IN THE FAULTY SEAT BELT WAS NOT INJURED. I FEEL THAT THE CONVERSION COMPANY WHO INSTALLED THE BELT WAS NEGLIGENT AND IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR INJURY.
