Typical seat belt symptoms owners report

  • Second-row and captain's seat buckles fail to catch on the first try, sometimes taking multiple attempts to lock.
  • Seat belts that appear buckled unlatch on their own while the vehicle is moving, triggering the warning chime.
  • Third-row seat belt buckles reported as not latching at all on the driver's side.
  • Middle-row captain's seat buckle assemblies were replaced by a dealer but continued to unbuckle intermittently.
  • Booster-seat use in captain's chairs is harder because the recessed buckle makes it difficult for children to buckle themselves.
  • Owners describe the buckle mechanism as failing to hold even after a firm tug test at the dealer.
