Seatbelts have failed, malfunctioned on separate occasions throughout the years. Inspection of my vehicle is welcome for study on the seatbelts. On arrival to destinations, seatbelt or seatbelts will lock, and unable to release from the the button-press mechanism. Myself or passenger will then need to climb out of the belt from the bottom or top of restraint. Another note for safety hazards is the struggle to get back into the contraption isn’t time worthy- traveling from destinations sitting over top of seatbelts is an issue- a life or death situation. As there has not been physical altercations yet- I am concerned of the seatbelts locking and the mechanism button to unleash seatbelts fail, putting safety at risk for all passengers. The vehicle typically passes inspection, as for the malfunctions don’t happen while being inspected. There are no warnings whatsoever as to when the button click mechanism spontaneously locks into place.

The passenger front seat belt locks for no reason and then will not unlock without taking the seat belt off, letting it retract, then putting it on again. When it locks it is super tight and almost chokes you.

My passenger side seat belt has gotten stuck numerous times and my passengers including myself have had to climb out. This has been going on for about 2 -3 yrs now. I have brought it to the dealerships attention as well as the warranty personnel. My car is covered bumper to bumper but they tell me this is not covered. This is a safety issue as well as worrisome due to I'm afraid to let people ride with me. I literally have had to climb backwards with the seat all the way supine and climb out back to get out. I'm not sure if there is any recourse I can take for this issue. They have been working with my brakes several times which always seem to have sound problems and issues and everytime I bring up the seatbelt issue but get no where. If u can please advise me on what, if anything can be done. There was no accident that caused this but this form required a date.
