Date Component Summary Severity Mileage
May 2018 SEAT BELTS DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT IS TOO SHORT, NOT AS LONG AS PASSENGERS SEAT BELT. IT PROHIBITS / RESTRICTS LEANING FORWARD TO CHECK ONCOMING TRAFFIC (BOTH LOOKING LEFT AND RIGHT) AT INTERSECTIONS AND MERGING SITUATIONS. I BELIEVE THIS CAUSES AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION.

Mar 2018 SEAT BELTS THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT IS MUCH SHORTER THAN THE PASSENGER SIDE. UNLESS YOU ARE AN EXTREMELY SMALL PERSON IT IS DIFFICULT TO MOVE OR CLEARLY LOOK AT YOUR BLIND SPOTS WHEN DRIVING. THE SEAT BELT SITS ACROSS YOUR NECK AND BREAST WHICH WOULD CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGE IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. THIS SEAT BELT WAS MADE TOO SHORT.
