What owners wrote
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 35MPH, the vehicle was involved in a front impact collision and the airbags did not deploy. Although both occupants were wearing seatbelts, the buckle assembly did not lock resulting in forward motion, which caused the occupants to strike the dash panel area. Minor injuries were sustained. The vehicle had moderate damage. The police were on the scene and a report was taken. The vehicle was not seen by a dealer.
Rear passenger seat belt restraints do not work. It is not possible to extend the seat belt across the lap and shoulder of the passenger. Thus it is unsafe for all passengers riding in the rear of the vehicle, and prevents proper installation of any and all child safety seats.
