Typical seat belt symptoms owners report
- Second-row captain's chair and rear seat buckles sit recessed and angled, making it hard for children and adults to click boosters or seat belts into place.
- Seat belts that appear latched come undone on their own while driving, an issue owners say worsens in cold weather.
- Driver-side and second-row middle seat belts stop catching in the buckle entirely, sometimes appearing shortly after purchase.
- Some owners report the driver seat belt has popped off multiple times while driving.
- One owner linked an unrelated engine stall and smoke event to a rear seat belt that also released while driving.
