Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Both the drivers & the passengers front seat belts, literally fell apart while in the process of buckling them. dealer said they dont cover this, and i feel this is a real safety issue, since the belt is now tied (with a knot) to the remaining metal piece that buckles to the belt on the seat. also door handles dont open doors from back seat (inside). have to open door for passenger or reach through the window to get out of the car.
