When rear seats are folded to make more room for cargo, the seat belts retract more inwards due to the retractable hardware that retracts the belts. The button clips that are clamped into the belt that stops them from happening break apart easily due to the retracting force of the belt and when trying to fold back the seats the belts get locked and are unable to fold back to the original position, the only way to fix this is to unbolt the belts and fold back the seats and bolt back the seat belts. When this is done, passengers are not able to buckle in the rear seats due to the belt retractable hardware being locked. Is a safety issue because the passenger can not buckle and, when the belt works and are able to buckle, sometimes when braking hard the belt retrieves a little to keep the passenger in place and when this happens the belts lock back again having the passenger being tightened by the belt and unable to move freely and having difficulty trying to unbuckle in case of an emergency.
FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT BINDS AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE FRONT PASSENGER TO DO UP SEAT BELT. *JB
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED BOTH REAR OUTBOARD SEAT BELTS HAVE A PLASTIC SHIELD ON THEM, WHICH CAUSES THE SEAT BELT TO BECOME ENTANGLED. IF THE SEAT BELTS ARE BEING OCCUPIED AND THE PASSENGER LEANS FORWARD, THE SEAT BELT GETS ENTANGLED IN THE PLASTIC SHIELD CAUSING EXCESSIVE SLACK THAT WILL NOT RETRACT. THE DEALER IS ORDERING A NEW RETRACTOR FOR THE SEAT BELTS. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN ALERTED. UPDATED 05/10/06. *JB
