| The front passenger safety belt does not always securely latch into the buckle. within the past several months, the seatbelt has unlatched without warning on the person sitting in the front passenger seat. i've figured out that after inserting the safety belt into the buckle, it'll stay secure if i push down on it one more time until i hear a solid click. i have not had to do this in the past, but i am very concerned for any passengers that may be seated in my car while in motion. those unaware of the double click trick (to get it safely secured) are definitely at the highest risk of injury...they assume that when they insert the safety belt into the buckle (and hear the initial click) they are appropriately protected by the seat belt. however, several passengers have been alarmingly surprised to have their seatbelt automatically unlatch itself while the vehicle is in motion! although this problem does not occur every time the belt is inserted into the buckle, it still causes me great concern for the safety of those sitting in that front passenger seat!*ak | |||
