1991 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS — Complaint #206137

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE filed April 7, 2000

NHTSA complaint #206137 (ODI reference 859883) concerns a 1991 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS and was filed on April 7, 2000. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 7, 1999. The report was geocoded to Michigan based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as seat belts:front:anchorage, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS cohort independently describe similar seat belts:front:anchorage failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 1991 OLDSMOBILE CUTLASS shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
