Vehicle is an 05 ford f150 fx4 crew cab. Driver's seatbelt unlatching while driving. It happens about every other day of driving everyday. Sometimes it happens on a sudden brake, bumps, or sudden acceleration. Something in the seatbelt latch is not holding the buckle good.

The passenger seatbelt keeps locking up even when the truck is stopped.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not serviced. The current mileage was 67,431 and failure mileage was 66,000.
Everytime I hit the brakes, the passenger seat belt never holds. Person in the seat always has to be ready when I brake, either hard or soft. Seat belt not doing its work, not locking, not holding. Happens countless times. Took in to the dealer, they say nothings wrong, but if I really have to hit brakes one day, someone's going to get hurt.
