Typical seat belt symptoms owners report

Seat belt and airbag warning lights and chimes activate falsely while driving at highway speed, even though belts are properly fastened.
Dashboard messages claim the driver or passenger seat belt is unbuckled while it remains secured.
The false warnings often appear together with other electronic alerts, including airbag service messages, cruise control failure, and phone/emergency service warnings.
Some owners report the rear seat belt latch itself fails to lock and secure a passenger, requiring belt replacement.
Dealers frequently trace the warnings to the ORC (Occupant Restraint Controller) module, with replacement parts sometimes on back order.
