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.

THE RAIL OF THE AUTOMATIC SHOULDER BELT WORE SUFFICIENTLY SUCH THAT THE CABLE WHICH RETRACTS THE BUCKLE ASSEMBLY BECAME JAMMED IN THE RAIL RENDERING THE SHOULDER BELT INOPERATIVE. WHEN I WENT TO GET OUT OF MY CAR THE BUCKLE ASSEMBLY STOPPED ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IN THIS POSITION IT MAKES MY CAR TOTALLY UNSAFE AND ILLEGAL TO DRIVE. EITHER A RECALL SIMILAR TO 97V211000 SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THE 1995 MODEL OR THAT RECALL SHOULD EXTEND TO COVER THE 1995 MODEL BY MAZDA. IT'S THE SAME ISSUE/PROBLEM AND MAZDA IS LIABLE AND RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING IT. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
