| Seat Belt problems |
In the third row there are no kind of holders preventing the seat belt buckles from going under and between the seats when they are folded down and up. This has resulted in them getting trapped between the seats and under the folding mechanism and getting crushed to the point of being unusable and unsafe. We are currently unable to use the back seat seatbelts due to them being unable to be buckled at all. We discovered this while the car was parked when we went to retrieve the rear seat belt buckles for use.
Third row seat belt buckles have not holders preventing it from going under and between the seats when seats are raised and lowered. Resulting in the buckles to be crushed,broken and unusable endangering passengers in third row travel without seat belts anymore.
