Front Seat belts would lock in stowed position and eventually would release sometime minutes or days later. Dealership would gladly replace them for $500 per side, I found what appeared to be good second hand ones. They are now failing... very poor design in the pendulum release mechanism, they couldn't be built any cheaper, this is a major safety issue.
