Driver seat belt latch difficult to disengage completely. Only way to disengage is by jamming the latch in, with force, while holding the push button down. This allows latch to fully engage, and retry the push button. Three to five attempts will release latch mechanism. Vehicle was stationary problem first started december 2016. Still awaiting response.

The right rear seat belt became locked out while unbuckled during a stop at a restaurant. We returned to the car to find it wouldn't release so we could buckle up to continue our journey. We tried loosening the small part that was on a booster seat and it retracted but still refused to release. The seat belt is unusable at the moment. Will visit a dealer.
