Front passenger seat belt remains locked. Sometimes it will work if you adjust it up and down but other times it won't work at all. I had to have my passenger ride in the back today so that she could use a seatbelt because the front one refused to release. The vehicle was parked but running. Standard transmission. Also happens when vehicle is moving.

Front passenger seat belt was locked and would not allow for proper use; unable to pull out from the extractor. This has been an intermittent problem that continues to exist. This is a safety problem in that passenger is forced to ride without benefit of seat belt. The problem goes away and allows proper use of the belt usually within 2 days without any rhyme or reason. There seems to e no reason to trigger the problem and no reason why the problem resolves itself on it's own.

My car started with the ignition switch back in october with the key not shutting off the car and having to disconnect the battery to shut it off, took it into the dealer and they fixed it, but now things are getting scary. Every other day my car is telling me that the ABS systems needs fixed and that the traction control needs serviced. The breaks were replaced in december of 2013 and we were told that there is nothing else wrong with the car and now this.. Took it back to the dealer and they informed us that there is nothing wrong with it, but the lights come on and go off for no reason.. The passenger seat belt locks all the time and even after you unlatch it, it stays locked for some time. I am so frustrated over this issue and can't get any answers on it.
