| Seat Belt problems |
The drivers seat belt does not lock/latch in properly. Everytime I enter the vehicle I reach for my seat belt and buckle myself, well so I thought I did. When I insert the belt it seems as though its buckles however once I start to drive the belt comes un done and it I always have to pull over to put it back on becsuse it locks the seat belt so I'm not able to just buckle back in.
[this is a preventative complaint. No injury sustained. ] this car has a failed passenger seat sensor that when depressed activates the passenger side air bag. This vehicle also has a driver side seat belt that clicks and then can be pulled out of the locking harness. These items are not recalled by the manufacture but, in my opinion, should be for customer safety.
