Under normal usage two of the three rear seatbelts failed to release causing children to be stuck in seat. After seatbelts are freed from buckle they do not work correctly any more. New buckles have to be purchased which is difficult due to part availability.

Seat belt catch device releases the clip and seat belt from holder approximately 75% of the time I put on my seat belt. I have not replaced as the item was not deemed necessary by dealer that wanted $375 for replacement.
