Typical seat belt symptoms owners report

Second-row captain's chair buckles sit recessed and angled in the seat, making it difficult and slow to click the belt tongue into place, especially with a booster seat.
Belts appear to buckle with an audible click but release when pulled, or unlatch on their own while the vehicle is moving.
Front and rear buckles sometimes take multiple attempts to latch, and dealers in some cases could not identify or repair the fault.
Several owners describe belts unbuckling repeatedly across multiple rows without anyone pressing the release button, triggering warning chimes mid-drive.
