| Description of the problem | The passenger seat belt buckle is too low for release. My wife has a very difficult time releasing the seat belt from the buckle. If we were in an accident i fear that she would not be able to get out of the car. This has been reported to the dealer and they say that they can do nothing about it. All that has to be done is to replace the buckle with one of the same type that is used on the drivers seat. *nm |
