What owners wrote
Tl* - while driving 40 - 45 miles per hour. The contact lost control of the vehicle on a gravel/dirt road which caused a collision with a post. The contact's airbags did not deploy. The seatbelt didn't secure her in the vehicle which caused her to lose 4 front teeth and, severely injure her jaw bone and chin.
The rear center seat belt is stuck in the lock position after laying the back seat down to haul cargo. I have read several forums regarding this problem and it seems to happen a lot. No solution yet save taking it to the dealer for them to fix and me to have to pay for. Not a good option in my book.
