Description of the problem | When you fold the rear seats forward on this vehicle the seat belt buckles can fall below the seats, then when you raise the seats back up the seat belt buckles stay below the seats and the plastic receiver ends get crushed and are unusable. We currently have one rear seat belt buckle that is stuck under the seat and it cannot be accessed without unbolting the seat. I was able to pull another buckle up from below the seat but the buckle is bent and unusable. This happens while the vehicle is stationary. |
