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.

Crash reported1 injury reported

We were driving in the Slingshot when it started raining. The vehicle hit some water and started to hydroplane. It started to spin, which I was able to end up controlling but we were shot into a ditch where we hit the embankment. My wife was ejected from the car. She swears that she had her seatbelt on and I have video that seems to confirm this. After the wreck, I went to the hauler and looked at the seatbelt. It was out enough that she had to have had it on as it would not go out any further and would not retract. The vehicle is still at the wrecker so this has not been confirmed. The police report says that the seatbelt was not on, but I'm sure that he did not actually test this aspect. There were no warning lamps or anything else indicating that the seatbelt was not on prior to the crash.
