Werner KIA sold pre-owned vehicle with driver side seatbelt defect, very loose. It was acknowledged by dealer, on paperwork, stated they repaired/replaced it, only to see it was NOT repaired/replaced due to cost. To date, seatbelt still loose, may not work in crash situation.

Right side passenger seat has not warning/sound to remind passenger to fasten seat belt. Spoke with dealer after purchase and was told the vehicle I purchased only has a reminder sound for driver side only. Does not seem to coincide with requirements for seat belt notification.

When someone is sitting in the front passenger seat and does NOT have their seat belt on there is no warning alerting the operator of the vehicle, no lights blinking or no bells dinging. I have done a little research and this appears to be common on at least some Kia vehicles. Pretty much every other vehicle I have checked gives some kind of warning if passenger is not buckled.
