In TWO separate occasions, the middle row seatbelts have unbuckled on THEIR OWN. We have also had issues with the buckles NOT buckling OR unbuckling when prompted. (Like it-??s stuck in the buckle to unbuckle or won-??t click in) Other issue is the car will randomly tell me my child is unbuckled but they are NOT. Today, the sensor went on and off multiple times telling me buckled, unbuckled, over and over meanwhile my child was buckled. Why is it telling me she-??s not buckled if she is-??."?? And why has the belts unbuckled on their own" (The first time it was my toddler in his car seat who CANNOT reach the buckle)

Having great difficulty releasing the seat belt. At times, have to repeat pressing red release button. I-??ve been using seat belts in more than 50-75 cars on my life experience and never had trouble releasing my seat belt. This problem is consistent with all family members who drive this car. I-??m concerned if an emergency situation occurs, my family will not be able to get out of car quickly.
