I am reporting the failure of the buckle on the front seat belt on driver's sideof vehicle. It appearedto click"closed but unexpectedly poppedopen when idriving. I contacted the manufacturer . Who said that the vehicle was not under a recall for thisproblem due to the vin.. However, nhtsa site showedthat there was a recall of the vehicle for just this problem. I understand that recalls were typically assembly plant related and thatthis vehicle might not have been included in the recall. However, the similaritywas too great to ignore ,and i wishedto report this matter to you. Please note that no accident occurred but the hazard to my safety was considerable. I will replace the faulty part at my own expense in the meantime but urge your agency to further review the possibility that not all the vehicles so impaired have been recalled. Latest incident occurred on april 7 but was preceded by many more.

Grinding noise in steering when turning the steering wheel while driving and especially while sitting still. Steering is not as responsive as it use to be. This has evolved over time while being used for the last year, it didn't happen all of a sudden. It has gotten to the point where we are afraid to drive it.
While traveling at any speed and usingbrakes there wasvibration in steering column. Dealership has examinedvehicle, and could not remedyproblem.please provide any additional information / attachments.
Driver side lower control arm / ball joint failed allowing the front wheel to separate from the car.prior to this driver experienced squeaking from the front end and stiffness in steering/castor action at slow speeds not working.
Michelin tire (no size) experienced blowout.
While driving, the right rear tire blew out, consumer states the sidewall had detached from the tread and had disintergrated, there was no puncture in the tire, consumer was informed by tire shop that tire was beyond repair, consumer is seeking for reimbursement (michelin symmetry tire p225-60-16)
Consumer states that after putting the vehicle in drive,tapped lightly on the accelerator pedal, vehicle accelerated at a very high speed and went throw several obstacles before stopping.mr
Consumer could not get the vehicle to start.once started consumer proceeded across the lot.consumer stopped the car and when getting back in could not get it out of gear until after turning the motor off.as consumer approached the traffic light, he used the brakes to slow to a stop.all of a sudden, the vehicle jolted forward out of control.*jg
We were lucky.the accelerator not only stuck, but snapped down against the floor board.luckily, i was driving, not my 70+ year old mother, and we were on an open road with no people or objects in front of us.even so, we were doing appox. 80 mph before i put it in neutral and shut off the key. The dealership did a good job.they discovered that the "wiring harness at lighting control module had somehow gotten into the accelerator mechanism causing the gas pedal to stick down.though they fixed ours,it bothers me to think of all the terrible things that could have happened had the sitution been slightly different.i file this report in the hope of preventing that "terrible" accident from happening to anyone else. Other than this, its has been a great car.
While slowing down to stop without any indication vehicle idles to 40 mph. Consumer depressedbrakes with force and vehicle idled low. Dealer has been contacted. Please provide further information.
