Typical seat belt symptoms owners report

  • Front and driver seat belts spontaneously unbuckle while driving, sometimes repeatedly with no warning.
  • Second-row and third-row buckles disengage on their own even when a passenger is seated and the belt appears clipped in correctly.
  • Some owners report a seat belt retractor that stops pulling back, leaving the belt unusable.
  • Middle-row and third-row belts are reported as unable to extend or missing tension, with no warning light or error code shown.
  • Dealers in some cases quoted an out-of-pocket repair for a buckle replacement rather than covering it under warranty.
