Seat Belt problem #1

While driving the morning of 13 Jan 2025 my airbag sensor light on the dashboard illuminated. Shortly after that me and my wife smelled smoke in the vehicle cabin and then we heard a loud explosion and the seatbelt instantly tightened around my chest and waist. It was after I was able to stop safely and research the incident that I realized my drivers side “pretensioner” detonated while I was driving.

Seat Belt problem #2

Drivers side seat belt will not click in and I believe that is a safety problem.
