Seat Belt problem #1

On August 5 I fell asleep and ran into the back of a truck stopped at a light. My knee air bag deployed but the steering wheel bag did not and the shoulder belt did not deploy causing me to hit the steering wheel very hard bruising my sternum and causing surrounding muscle inflammation that is still sore today.

Seat Belt problem #2

Door from the driver seat side won't work but all the rest does.

Seat Belt problem #3

Seat belt will not retract . Vehicle is parked and on city streets.

Seat Belt problem #4

The lap band portion of my seatbelt is fraying directly above the buckle. It continues to fray even further each time I fasten my seatbelt.

Seat Belt problem #5

Seat belt auto retractor has progressively degraded in performance on the driver's seat since ~70,000 miles. As of now, seat belt will no longer retract without physically pushing it back into the housing. Pretensioner still operates correctly.

Seat Belt problem #6

Driver's seat belt latch has trouble latching or doesn't hold. Will be replacing seat belt latch this week through dealership.
