The driver-side rear seatbelt latch has malfunctioned. The spring mechanism appears broken and now will not lock / click the seatbelt in place when inserted. This is a major safety concern that has been documented numerous times specifically for the Model Y. The Tesla mobile service center will come out and diagnose which can take 1-2 weeks for appointment. But when the broke latch is replaced, it will cost +$80 per latch that is replaced.

Passenger side rear seatbelt has a faulty latch. Latch will disengage spontaneously. Passenger rear seat belt disengaged. Child safety car seat tipped over. Child encountered minor injuries.
Rear passenger middle seat buckle was defective- just replaced by Tesla. Seatbelt buckle was stuck and after unlatching, was unable to get it back in; there was a 4 year old in a booster seat at the time of incident. Left rear passenger seatbelt may have also unlatched by itself last week while front facing booster seat was strapped in using the seatbelt. Had to reinstall car seat with latch, despite child exceeding 40lb. limit for latch use (Diono 3XRT).
Seat belts are hitting the door and seat. Model y car seat belts are not installed properly. As per Tesla regenerative braking supposed stop the car but car is rolling. As per Tesla tech regenerative doesn’t work until the battery is heated up. They never provided this to customers and this could result in accidents for people who rely on regenerative braking
My model Y 2nd row seats are not latching. I keep getting warning â ï¸ alerts. My vehicle been in Tesla service center posesiones since July,2022. Currently still with Tesla Service for repair.
My Tesla provided an in car warning message on June 28 stating that the “front passenger safety restraint system fault” exists. I immediately created a service request (the same day) and included pictures of the fault message. On July 6th, the Tesla service team stated that the appointment required a service center visit (which is not an option when making the appointment originally) and scheduled the appointment for July 25. On July 25, I took the car into the service center. A day later, Tesla confirmed an issue with the OCS module that required a new front passenger seat be installed. Tesla could not provide a date the new seat would be available and let me drive off with the vehicle. I made a follow up appointment on August 16th. On the day of the appointment, the Tesla service team confirmed that the replacement seat was not yet available and they still did not know when it would be. It has now been almost two months since the original alert and despite my proactive efforts, Tesla cannot tell me when this serious safety issue with my vehicle will be repaired. Tesla is allowing its customers to continue to drive vehicles with critical safety issues without any urgency in the repair.
