Defect Description:
SEAT BELTS
Potential Consequences:
Multiple recurring manufacturer issues that they refuse to address: Gas Cap: spins on top of chassis, not locking down. Difficult to lock, or unlock, because it just spins incessantly. We've gone through 4 different gas caps from this manufacturer, and all of them keep doing the same thing after a few days. Sometimes the Gas Cap will fly off during driving, which is a major safety concern. Battery: Trickle-charging through their provided port doesn't ever work. To jumpstart, you need to remove 10 rivet screws to take off the entire hood just to jump. Poor quality design. Seatbelts: keep getting caught, or too loose, not providing adequate protection in case of accident Side mirrors: No way to adjust, keep getting loose from vibration. Manufacturer refused to replace.
