Seat belt won't latch or retract by model year
What owners say
They had to replace the rear 3rd row seat belt retractor. It was broken when purchased.
Overly sensitive seat belt mechanism. Slightest movement while driving will cause seat belt to lock, restricting the person driving from necessary movement such as, looking behind vehicle before reversing or lane changing, taking the ticket from machine in parking structures, ect. Seat belt has been changed once but continues to be a problem. Problem has been with auto since purchased.
Contact states; front passenger seat belt will tighten and lock while engine is on and off. Just to unlock seat belt at latch and allow it to roll all the way in before it can be applied. It tightens as if brakes were slammed on. However it tightens anyway without that particular situation. Has taken to dealer twice without any conclusions or repairs.
The set belts locked up without the brakes being applied. *jb passenger seat belt shoulder harness only will not unlock, unless the seat belt is unbuckled and retracts back. *ts
