Tribute

  • 20,000 miles
2006 Mazda Tribute: In the last two weeks the driver side seat belt has locked into place and driver was unable to get out of the car. One of the times, driver drove to a dealership where it was totally disconnected from the floor behind the seat; so driver could get out. Mechanic said to not buckle again, but it is routine, so it happened again. Now when driving, the buzzer buzzes frequently to remind to buckle seatbelt, that cannot be unbuckled. It is buckled up, and driver is sitting on the belt. This car belongs to a 78 year old, who would not be able to get out if she had a wreck. It has happened to multiple drivers of her car. Thanks (the car belongs to my mother, and I am concerned for her safety and the safety of anyone else with this model.)
