The drivers side seatbelt connecting floor (i think it's the belt force limiter) has a cable that has broken off. This is the 2nd time this has happened to my smartcar. It is a design flaw because the cable runs against the metal of the seat cutting thru the cable. It isn't usually noticed until it breaks off making the seatbelt complete become broken from the floor. Additionally, smartcars including this one have a known issue where airbags become i op (light on) due to connection issue under seat. So now i have no restraints in my car.
