Subject: Complaint – Tesla North Hollywood Service Visit on Aug 30 Date: August 30, 2025 Time: Around 12:25 PM Location: Tesla North Hollywood Service Center Advisor: Anthony I visited the Tesla service center to report issues with my car: Possible seat belt problem in the back seat (my two kids sit there) Front and rear windows sometimes stop working I spoke with Anthony explained the issues and showed him the video i recorded it clearly show seat belt and windows malfunction . tesla Security cameras will confirm this. He smiled and asked if we wore seat belts. I said yes. He asked me to go to the car, but he didn’t inspect anything. I asked him again to check, and he said there’s nothing he can do unless the problem is happening right now. Then he walked away. This was very disappointing, especially because this is a safety concern involving children. No inspection was done, and my concerns were dismissed.

Rear seatbelt buckle won’t latch

Filed Nov 25, 2024 · Seat belts · TN

Seat belt latch system failed on rear middle seat during multiple trips in the car. Could buckle the seat when we left the house but after unbuckling at first destination could no longer latch the buckle. Looked on Google and this is a known issue with Tesla Model Y cars. Had to wait weeks for a repair appointment to fix the buckle leaving us with an unsafe car. No explanation from Tesla why it failed unsure if other buckles will also fail mid trip. Very concerned about the safety of seat belt latches in the event of an accident.
