Typical seat belt symptoms owners report

Second-row and middle-row seat belt sensors falsely trigger 'unbuckled' chimes and dashboard warnings even though the belt is properly latched.
Third-row seat belt buckles fail to register a buckled child seat, causing repeated dealer visits and multiple buckle replacements.
Some owners report the false alert can be temporarily stopped by jiggling the wire near the belt latch, then it restarts intermittently.
Right rear and middle row passenger positions seem to be affected most often, with alerts continuing even after warranty repairs.
One owner noted the same seat belt sensor issue recurred months after an earlier warranty repair on the same seat.
