THIS COMPLAINT IS AGAINST ALL AUTOMOBILES SOLD IN THE US. JUST LEASED A NEW ONE, AND THIS SEATBELT PROBLEM PERSISTS. I AM SOOOO TIRED OF IT. WOMEN SHOULD HAVE SAFE SEATBELTS, TOO. WOMEN (50% OF POPULATION) SHOULD BE PROVIDED JUST AS SAFE SEATBELTS AS MEN (50% OF POPULATION) ' BUT WE ARE NOT. WE ARE OF SHORTER STATURE, SO CURRENT SEATBELTS COME ACROSS OUR BODY AT A HIGHER ANGLE AND THEREFORE CUT INTO THE SIDE OF THE NECK RATHER THAN THE MIDDLE OF OUR SHOULDER. THE SEATBELT ADJUSTMENT NEEDS TO COME DOWN ON THE SIDE POST ANOTHER 2 INCHES TO MAKE IT SAFE ENOUGH FOR WOMEN (AT ALL ADJUSTABLE ATTACH POINTS). 1.OUR SEAT IS FARTHER FORWARD, SO WE CAN REACH THE BRAKE PEDDLE. THIS CAUSES A SHARPER ANGLE WHICH MAKES THE SEATBELT CUT INTO OUR LEFT SIDE OF THE NECK INSTEAD OF ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF OUR SHOULDER. 2.WE SIT LOWER BECAUSE OF OUR SHORTER HEIGHT, CAUSING A SHARPER ANGLE WHICH THEN MAKES THE SEATBELT CUT INTO OUR NECK. WITH SHORTER LEGS, WE DON'T WANT OUR FEET TO DANGLE AND BECOME TIRED WHILE DRIVING. OUR SHORTER STATURE MAKES THE SEATBELT UNSAFE (AND UNFAIR). 1.THE ANNOYING CUT INTO OUR NECK MAKES US WANT TO PLACE THE SHOULDER HARNESS UNDER OUT ARM = EXTREMELY UNSAFE. 2.THE NECK PAIN DISTRACTS US FROM SAFE DRIVING INSTEAD OF HAVING FULL ATTENTION ON THE ROAD. 3.IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE MISPLACEMENT OF THE SEATBELT AGAINST OUR NECK MAKES INJURIES TO THE NECK MORE LIKELY. RECOMMEND YOU ADD MORE WOMEN DRIVERS TO YOUR AUTOMOBILE SAFETY STANDARDS COMMITTEE. WOMEN WITH THEIR SHORTER HEIGHT SHOULD HAVE JUST AS MUCH PROTECTION AS MEN.

NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.
An investigation is not a finding of a defect, and closure does not prove a vehicle is problem-free.
