When the seatbelt gets pushed into the buckle it does not secure nor stay latched. The vehicle was parked overnight and I went to travel and the buckle does not latch at all.

Seat belt won't latch or retract by model year
What owners say
Car was rear ended and I hit my head on dashboard due to the seat belt pretensioner and retractor not engaging. Car was stationary at a red light. Nyc police accident report: mv-2019-100-000731 report 731
The rear center seat belt buckle is stuck.
Drivers' side seat belt fails to retract completely unless "coaxed." this leads to it being inadvertently blocking the door from closing. This began at or about 45,000 miles. This is abnormal for a seatbelt, in my experience, and is a safety hazard. My 1991 gmc s-15 still has no problem retracting belts, with 243,000 miles on it. Given this condition, the SRS system of the seatbelt locking is questionable!!! Dealer service writer claimed repair/replacing defective retractor is at my expense.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 toyota camry. While the vehicle was parked, the seat belt warning light failed to illuminate. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was previously repaired under the federal safety agency campaign number: 13v014000 (air bags, seat belts). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,000.
