| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Driver side seat belt latch is not latching to the buckle. While putting seat belt on it disengages from the latch system completely. Several attempts to re-secure the buckle into the latch continues to allow the seat buckle to become unlatched. Extremely unsettling as while operating my vehicle knowing my seat belt comes undone at any time. Nothing is touching the buckle or latch system to cause the unbuckle at any time. Have checked by looking into the latch system to ensure no debris is inside. |
