I searched the issue on line and tried but failed to resolve it.  A few weeks later, the seat belt alarm stopped going off when the belt was clasped.  At this point, I had no choice but bring it in for a fix.  The dealer advised that there would be a $305 fee to diagnose the problem.  They found a faulty belt buckle that failed in normal use.  To fix it was going to cost another $805.22 to replace the buckle.  I had no choice but to authorize this work. I believe safety related equipment should be covered by the manufacturer, beyond the normal warranty for a minimum of 10 years.  Using AI, i find conflicting information about who is responsible for safety equipment when it fails.   I am writing this to find out the NHTSA regulation that covers this, so when I call BWW customer service for an accommodation or hopefully, a full refund, I have all the information I need to plead my case.  Thank you!  Bob H.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"BMW","productModel":"I3","manufacturer":"BMW of North America, LLC"}]}]}
