Seat Belt problem #1

Seat belt buckle will not engage to lock into place multiple times into the buckle itself. It can take as many as a dozen to two dozen times to lock. Few times when it locks it disengages when pressure is applied by chest or waist during driving conditions. This is the driver side only as of now.

Seat Belt problem #2

The passenger airbag light stays off and on if I do not keep the seatbelt locked, even with no passenger. Thus occurs while I am driving and assume this is an electrical issue, safety issue, and potential airbag issue. This has been occurring off and on for over a year.

Seat Belt problem #3

1) driver's side front seat belt became problematic to click into the receiver, often when inserting the buckle into the receiver, it would bounce back out as if being ejected 3-6 times before latching. Dealer examined, acknowledged something wasn't right and recommended replacement of the receiver. 2) driver's side front seat began exhibiting slight rock and click during acceleration and deceleration. Dealer recommended replacing the seat frame.

Seat Belt problem #4

Seat belt buckle not latching noticed difficulty getting belt to latch to buckle then not at all research on you tube and internet and found this is a common failure seems like older generation cars seat belt assemblies last a life time this is a major safety failure.
