Rear passenger seat belt restraints do not work. It is not possible to extend the seat belt across the lap and shoulder of the passenger. Thus it is unsafe for all passengers riding in the rear of the vehicle, and prevents proper installation of any and all child safety seats.

Driver's seat belt does not latch securely everytime. Seat belt becomes unlatched while driving for no apparant reason. This problem occurred many times since the purchase two years ago. I rarely have passengers so it is unknown if problem extends to the other seat belts.

Problems with safety belt becoming undone after being secured. When the seat belt latch was pushed into the socket firmly it occasionally popped out. It had to be pushed into position then juggled in order for it to latch correctly. The belt would also tighten so snugly on the occupant that they could not lean forward to adjust the dash controls or see through the mirrors.

Vehicle's driver side seat belt defective. When pushed into the socket to secure the driver, it would pop out and would not remain unless forced. The belt would also tighten and fit snug to the point where the driver was unable to lean forward. (the consumer would be unable to see if anyone was coming) the dealer would not fix the vehicle.
