Driver's seat belt comes unbuckled for no reason. The driver's side seat belt disengages periodically. There seems to be no pattern to the occurrences . It happens while driving and while the vehicle is stationary. I am very diligent in making sure the belt is secure because I am aware of the problem. But, it still disengages without being touched.

Drivers seat belt release will not lock seat belt. Belt releases with movement of driver. Vehicle has approx 77,000+ miles and normal wear/tear should not have caused seat belt to malfunction.
This vehicle was purchased new and has less than 140,000 miles. #1-it has corrosion on the outer body panels that is starting to go into the frame. The corrosion has caused numerous cuts, scrapes and damaged clothing as you get in and out of the vehicle. #2- I started smelling antifreeze but you couldn't see any leaks unless it was parked downhill so I took it to the shop for diagnosis. After several test they found it to be the head gasket. #3- I also have issues with the drivers side seat belt staying latched. You can be driving along and it will just release and it takes awhile to get it to latch back. #4-it wouldn't let me select the option to talk about the window regulators that just all of a sudden decide to work by themselves. I've had several people discuss these issues with me and I'd not seen any issues until lately, regardless of how significant anyone thinks these issues are I've worked in the auto industry long enough to know that the maker should stand behind their product regardless of the significance or age of vehicle.
