Waring light for seat belt restraint stays on, only on passenger side. Not sure if this affects integrity of seat belt or air bags.

Purchased used with 83,000 miles. Currently 100,000. The intermittently reports a failure in the passenger restraint system. When examined by a qualified mechanic, there is no indication of an issue with any of the passenger restraint systems. When this warning is present on the vehicle, I do not know what safety systems (if any) have been compromised. Dealership has stated there is a recall on similar vehicles during the same year, but not this vehicle even though it uses the same components.

Pass restraint system error. Please help! I get this warning every so often when I get in my car and regardless of a passenger present or not. Several times the beeping signal will begin to make noise, to button the seat belt, even when nothing is in the seat. This is creating a very annoying driving experience.

The seat belt's height is not adjustable and too low for a 6ft5in driver. The seat belt often rides on left side of shoulder instead of on top. It is not likely to function optimally in an accident. Dealer has no solution.
