2014 Nissan Maxima

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT IS STUCK FOR SOME REASON AND I CANNOT ADJUST THE LOCK PART TO FASTEN OR WEAR MY SEATBELT WHICH MEAN I CAN'T FOLLOW TEXAS SEAT BELT LAW AND COULD BE HURT OR KILLED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CREATED THIS ISSUE SO I AM CONFIDENT THAT IT IS A DESIGN ISSUE OR MAYBE A FLAW IN JUST MY 1 CAR......I DON'T WANT TO BE STOPPED AND GIVEN A $200 TICKET WHICH TEXAS LAW AND POLICE ARE STRICKED AND I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE THAT IF I DO NOT PULL THE BELT OVER MY CHEST I WILL BE STOPPED BECAUSE I WAS GIVEN A $200 TICKET ON A SUNDAY MORNING AND I PULLED OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND REALIZED WHEN A SAW A STATE TROOPER THAT WAS HEADING TOWARD ME I INSTANTLY REALIZED THAT I HAD FORGOT TO FASTEN MY SEATBELT AND HE SAW ME PUT MY SEATBELT ON AND HE PAST ME AND TURNED AROUND WITH LIGHTS AND AND GAVE ME A $200 TICKET WHILE I WAS WEARING THE BEALT

2014 NISSAN MAXIMA SEAT BELTS HAVE A DESIGN FLAW THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE WAS THE DESIGN INTENT. THE AUTOMATIC LOCKING RESTRAINT OR ALR LOCKS ON ACCELERATION AND ON DESCENDING STEEPER HILLS AT CONSTANT SPEED. THIS PINS THE DRIVER TO THE SEAT, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LOOK OVER HIS SHOULDER, FOR INSTANCE, DURING MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES CLEARLY THAT THE ALR DEPLOYS ON RAPID DECELERATION AS IT SHOULD; AS EVERY OTHER CAR DOES. HOWEVER, THE NISSAN MAXIMA ALR ALSO DEPLOYS ON ACCELERATION IN A STRAIGHT LINE ACCELERATION AND LATERAL ACCELERATION. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR THAT BEHAVES IN THIS WAY. WE HAVE A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT DOES NOT BEHAVE IN THIS WAY. I HAVE DRIVEN TWO 2014 MAXIMA'S THAT EXHIBIT THIS BEHAVIOR AND THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO CORRECT THIS. AS YOU LOWER THE HEIGHT OF HUGE SEATBELT ANCHOR ON THE FRONT SEATS, IT BECOMES MORE AGGRESSIVE. ALL FOUR SEAT BELTS EXHIBIT THIS BEHAVIOR. RESTRICTING THE DRIVER'S MOVEMENT UNNECESSARILY IS UNSAFE. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS FOR THE SAME REASON. *TR
