    Seat Belts

    Front passenger seat belt will disengage with out touching the release button. I have tried using high pressure air thinking it would dislodge something. Even tried a little wd-40 to no avail. Really frustrating to hear its not on the recall list for this model year. Dealerships sure don't act like they want to fix it. Has happened numerous times.

    Seat Belts

    My drivers side seatbelt has started to randomly unbuckle. There isn't anything touching it, pressing it or otherwise interfering with the operation. I firmly press the buckle into the receptacle, pull on it to ensure it is latched and randomly it will come undone. The dealership said there isn't a recall or warranty to cover it so i had to purchase a new receptacle. This has happened going as slow as 5mph and as…
