Owner Complaints (2)
Your driver's side seat belt is frayed and damaged, with the frayed material catching when you pull it across your chest. The dealership claimed a mouse caused the damage, but you believe the fraying is actually from the seat belt catching on the thin gap where it retracts. A properly functioning seat belt is critical for your safety in a crash, and this damaged belt may not protect you adequately. The repair will likely involve replacing the entire seat belt assembly.

Your driver's side seat belt is frayed across the chest area, which could affect how well it protects you in a crash. The dealer blamed a mouse, but you believe this is a manufacturing defect since nothing else in the vehicle was damaged and you're the only regular driver. Kia offered to replace the belt as a courtesy but won't cover labor costs. Replacing the seat belt assembly will require removing the old belt and installing a new one.
