| Seat Belt problems |
The driver side seat belt constantly reverse locks. The vehicle was stationary and the seat belt often reserve locks without a jerk or sudden stop incident. It usually is discovered when trying to put a seatbelt on.
Air bags did not deploy during collision. Seat belt tensioner front passenger side did not engage.
From the driver's seat, my shoulder harness comes from left shoulder to right hip, where it is latched. The shoulder harness does not stay in a cross-body position and rides up to under my right armpit. I do not have a barrel belly that would force this up. The strap then is high enough to cross over my neck. I will be taking the car to the dealer to see if there is any "fix" for this, because I don't want to be beheaded by an improperly positioned strap. I have moved the adjuster on the door post and changed my seat postion. Neither action made a difference. With the seat more forward, the steering wheel is pretty close. How far away should I be? anyway, I'm just wondering if others have had a problem with the shoulder harness riding up and what can be done about it. L.
