snapped a couple on my car, but it was because I slid off the road in a storm and parked it in a snowdrift. fortunately I had spare belts in the trunk.

I've seen them snap on several Maximas over the years, but not on a 5th gen yet.

I had a belt shred on me a little, but thats cause the tensioner was messed up and put too much stress on one side of the belt. The car was still drivable, but I got it fixed.
