    I purchased the vehicle used march 2014. The back passenger seat belt from the beginning is finicky. Sometimes it would click and lock and sometimes it never engages. Because of this we decided to just not use that seat. We thought maybe it just needed replaced. Now, yesterday, the middle seat belt came undone while my child was strapped into his car seat. I was going from a stop and turning into the grocery store.…

Ours is now demonstrating this. The red air bag light will remain illuminated and the issue after being run through a diagnostic at a local dealership was as expected tied to a seat belt sensor issue. I…
