Owner-reported complaints naming the seat belt system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Seat belts reportsComplaints 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 DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT DOES NOT RETRACT CORRECTLY. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN AMERICA. THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE, WITHOUT SEEING THE TRUCK OF $100-$1500.00 TO REPLACE THE CURRENT SEATBELT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE, NOT BASED ON THE MILAGE/AGE OF THE VEHICLE. I WILL CERTAINLY LET ALL KNOW ABOUT NISAAN'S LACK OF CONCERN FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC WHICH CHOOSE TO PURCHASE THEIR CARS, NEW OR USED! NOT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. I HAD A HONDA ACCORD THAT WAS 20+ YEARS OLD AND HONDA REPLACED THE SEATBELT AND ASSEMBLY FOR FREE, BEING IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE!!!!!

IN EARLY 2018 THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TO MY CERTIFIED MECHANIC TO IDENTIFY THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY. I AM TOLD THE ISSUE WITH THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY IMPACTS THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG AND THE MECHANISM THAT PREVENTS THE SEAT BELT FROM SPOOLING OUT WHEN AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. I HAD THE PART REPLACED ON MAY 29, 2018 BY MY CERTIFIED MECHANIC WITH A NISSAN OEM PART THAT CAME FROM LARRY MILLER NISSAN IN DENVER COLORADO. THE ISSUE WAS FIXED AND THE WARNING LIGHT WENT AWAY. SLIGHTLY MORE THAN 1 YEAR AFTER THE REPAIR, THE NEW PART FAILED. NISSAN WILL NOT STAND BY THEIR PART, THEY ONLY WARRANT IT FOR 1 YEAR, BUT I AM MORE CONCERNED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING OF THE PART. A SAFETY PART LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT FAIL, LET ALONE TWICE.
