Typical seat belt symptoms owners report
- Rear seat belt anchor points for the center and left rear positions are crossed, making it hard or impossible to buckle or unbuckle the left rear belt when the center seat is occupied or a car seat is installed.
- Seat belts fail to retract properly after a crash, with one owner reporting the belt did not restrain a passenger during a rear-end collision, causing head impact.
- Front driver or passenger seat belts fail to latch or release correctly, including one report of the belt connection detaching from the wall while the driver was buckling in.
- Driver seat belt becomes locked in a retracted position while the vehicle is parked, requiring dealer replacement.
- Some owners report the driver's seat belt will not click into place, with no recall showing for their VIN.
