Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This vehicle appears to use a mechanical (made out of plastic!) rocker lever that engages the seat belt reel when the doors are shut. due to high spring tension on this part, both levers have broken off and do not engage the seat belt reels as the are supposed to when the doors are shut. the mechanism is inside the body and there are no warning lights, or other indications, to let a driver/owner know that the lever has failed. *ak
