When front passenger moves forward the seat belt will lock up on occasion. Sometimes you are unable to release the inertia lock and must take the seat belt off completely. This failure has caused me to be locked into the front passenger seat and cause great discomfort. It will not release without totally retracting the seat belt meaning that you must take the belt off while vehicle is in motion. I researched on the internet that others have experienced the same and did not consider it to be a problem until I was able to see that others are experiencing the same problem.

I am wanting to report a problem in labeling on the center position of the back seat. It has a label showing you can put a child seat there. However the manual says you can not. I am a child passenger safety technician and would like to see if this labeling could be corrected as parents will try to put a child seat in that position and it should not be according to the vehicle manual. Feel free to contact me for additional information and explaination. I have also taken a photo of the label and can get it to you along with the manual showing not to put a child seat in that position. The manual says the restraint wont work properly. However parents are unaware of this. I am as a tech.

Consumer states the spring retractor does not always pull the belt completely causing the door to close on the belt. In the extended position the spring does not have enough torque to retract the weight of the belt and the clip. Dealer replaced the belts and retractor assemblies and stated that it was designed as not to put too much pressure on the chest of the driver or passenger.
