Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I ENTERED THE CAR AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT. IT WOULD NOT RELEASE FROM ITS HOUSING (INSIDE THE PANEL ABOVE MY LEFT SHOULDER). IT MADE A STRONG CLICKING NOISE, AS IF IT HAD LOCKED UP. I MADE NUMEROUS OTHER ATTEMPTS TO PUT ON MY SEAT BELT, WITH THE ENGINE TURNED ON, TURNED OFF, CAR IN PARK, CAR IN DRIVE, CAR MOVING. NO CHANGE. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN I CALLED VOLVO, THEY TOLD ME THAT SEATBELTS WERE ONLY COVERED UNDER A 5 YEAR WARRANTY. I WOULD EXPECT SEATBELTS TO HAVE MANDATORY LIFETIME WARRANTIES, REQUIRED BY LAW. I AM SURPRISED TO FIND THAT THIS IS NOT THE CASE. *TR
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER INSTALLED THE WRONG SIZE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE TIRES TO WEAR PREMATURELY. THE SERVICE DEALER ORDERED A NEW SET OF TIRES IN A SMALLER SIZE. THE WHEEL BALL BEARINGS ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER A KNOCKING SOUND WAS DETECTED. THE SERVICE DEALER DETERMINED THIS WAS DUE TO NOT ENOUGH GREASE IN THE WHEELS. THE CONTACT ALSO EXPRESSED CONCERN OVER THE SEAT BELT WARNING INDICATOR, WHICH WILL ONLY ACTIVATE AND ILLUMINATE AS THE VEHICLE STARTS AND WILL NOT STAY ON FOR THE RIDE DURATION IF THE SEAT BELT IS NOT WORN.
