Drivers Side Front Seatbelt webbing unraveling. Occasionally becoming caught in belt buckle assembly. Brought car to dealer on 8/6/21 and they wanted to charge over $500 to fix it. I said it was absolutely absurd and that it should be covered under one of my warranties purchased with the car. After some back an forth they agreed to warranty the repair and let me take the car home. Its now been over 4 weeks of them telling me the seat belt has still not arrived at the dealer and the safety issue is growing much larger as the seat belt webbing is getting worse each day. It seems they are truly not wanting to honor a warranty and are trying to do anything they can to either not fix the problem or make me pay over $500 to fix their defective product.

The driver seat seatbelt is too short to comfortably buckle while wearing winter clothing, or for individuals with a larger stomach. In addition it is not possible to lean forward while stopped to look around obstacles when pulling out of a location with limited visibility. This leaves no choice but to use an aftermarket extender or just not buckle up. It is significantly shorter than the passenger side or any other vehicle I've been in. This is a confirmed issue with many other owners per online forums.

The front drivers side seat belt is way to short for a normal human being. I'm average height and weight but when I attempt to put the seat belt around me it barely fits. Once I manage to get it locked there's no slack.in case of accident the seat belt will cause injuries. This vehicle needs to be recalled immediately

The drivers seatbelt is very small and limiting. As a person of larger size (not obese) I am barely able to fasten the seatbelt comfortably unless I scoot the seat all the way back, at that point I cannot reach the pedals. I am unable to lean forward to look for it oncoming traffic safely. The dealership reports that this is normal for the drivers side to be smaller and I should get a seat belt extender (after market). The passenger side fits perfectly. Unacceptable.
