| Component | SEAT BELTS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Driver's seat belt randomly discharges and disconnects. We began to be able to feel the difference when putting it on when it would latch vs when it wouldn't properly and securely latch. Sometimes it would take 3-5 attempts to make the belt feel secure. Often times, it would later unlatch and completely disconnect. This happened randomly; at stop lights, parking lots, on the highway, etc. It would also discharge and disconnect if tugged on. For example, leaning from driver's side over to passenger's side to reach something. |
