The seatbelts in the captains chairs unbuckle by themselves. Sometimes it is hard for the seatbelt to buckle in the first place and takes multiple attempts to latch. Then as I'm driving the seatbelts will unbuckle without anyone touching them. This has happened multiple times, with different people so it cannot be attributed to human error. This is very dangerous.

Buckle is recessed too far into the seat to properly buckle the seat belt. Resulting in seat belt not fully buckling and coming undone while vehicle is in motion of when sudden stops are made.

The 2nd row captains chair's seatbelts are recessed so far into the seat that it is difficult to buckle. The male part of the seatbelt also has a bend/angle that requires you to push the receiver end to the side to get the right angle to buckle. It does not go straight in. It is almost impossible to buckle the seatbelt if using a booster seat. Our booster seat is narrow and does not cover the opening where the receiver is located. It is the angle that makes it almost impossible. I recommend extending the receiver to be able to adjust the angle a small amount.

I purchased my car two days ago. I have 6 year old twins in high back booster seats in the 2nd row. We cannot get the seat belts to buckle. I have to end up climbing back there which is very difficult and fight with the seat belts. They just won't click in. My children definitely can't do it and after a good 10 minutes if I'm lucky I will get one buckled. However, even when I hear it click, it isn't always secure. Thank goodness after getting one child buckled I tugged on it before closing the door and sure enough, it came right out. This is not safe and is a major problem that needs addressed. There are a lot of people complaining about this.

This is a brand new car but the seatbelts in the 2nd row captains chairs are nearly impossible to buckle in. My children have to spend about 5 minutes attempting and then I usually have to do it. The seatbelts are wedged too far into the seat and at a weird angle. At times I buckle them in but they clip out way too easily.

The buckles in the captains chairs are recessed into the seat and the tongue is angled. It is incredibly difficult for an older person to properly buckle themselves in, and especially difficult to buckle the seat belt when using a booster seat. It has taken 5 minutes on several occasions to get it in correctly. At times, it seems it is in with a click, until I pull it, and it disengages. I am also concerned that the booster may actually lay in the button, completely releasing the seatbelt in an accident. Please address this issue asap so we can ensure our children are safe.
