| Description of the problem | I was unable to insert the driver's seat belt into the latch. Repeated attempts failed. Finally, i was able to latch the belt by first depressing the red latch release button and then inserting the seat belt. Since that time the seat belt will no longer insert unless the red release button is pressed and held during insertion. The vehicle was purchased in november of 2007 and the warranty has expired. |
