I was unable to release the driver's side seat belt. I crawled out under it and eventually got it to release. It seems to work ok now but I'm now leery of it.
Seat belt latch on the retractor will not stay in place. Vehicle had been taken to dealer for repairs, but problem comes back and forth.
Sealt belt broke on passenger seat, belt latch was latched into the case and release button broke immediatly, while trying to disengage the belt (by pushing on the button) the case broke inhalf, but remained engaged until completely disassembled.
