Typical seat belt symptoms owners report

  • Second and third row seat belt sensors falsely register as unbuckled even when the belt is properly fastened, triggering repeated dashboard alerts and chimes.
  • Rear and middle-row seat belt warning chimes sound intermittently, sometimes worsening while turning or when a passenger shifts position.
  • Some owners report the seat belt sensor issue starts intermittently and becomes more frequent over time before the sensor stops registering seat belt status at all.
  • Owners describe returning to dealers multiple times over several months for the same seat belt sensor malfunction without a lasting fix.
  • A few complaints note the false alerts create distraction for the driver, who must repeatedly check that children or passengers are actually buckled.
