Owner Complaints (8)
Your right rear passenger seatbelt buckle or sensor is malfunctioning and intermittently registers as unbuckled even when properly fastened. This causes your seatbelt warning chime and dashboard alert to activate repeatedly while driving, which is distracting and creates uncertainty about whether the passenger is properly restrained. The issue occurs frequently during normal driving and started in January 2026. A dealer will likely need to inspect and replace the faulty seatbelt sensor or buckle assembly.

Your second-row seat belt sensors have repeatedly malfunctioned since you took possession of the vehicle in November 2023. You've brought the car in for repairs three times (December 2024, April 2025, and May 2025), but the problem keeps coming back. The faulty sensors will need to be replaced or the seat belt warning system will need to be diagnosed and repaired by the dealership.

Two of your rear seats are showing false unbuckled warnings even when passengers are properly buckled in. The seat belt warning light stays on and the dashboard incorrectly indicates unbuckled passengers throughout your entire drive. This makes it impossible for you as the driver to verify if your passengers are actually safe, and it renders those two seats essentially unusable due to the constant alerts.

Your rear passenger seat belt won't stay properly secured — even when buckled, your car continuously shows a warning light and makes noise indicating the passenger isn't buckled. This has been happening for several months, making the seat belt unusable. The dealer has confirmed the issue, and it likely involves a faulty seat belt buckle sensor or connector that needs replacement.

Your car's seat belt sensor for the middle row center seat is constantly triggering warning alerts even when your child is properly buckled in, and the problem is getting worse over time. This has made the middle seat unusable because of the repeated warnings. The sensor may need to be replaced or recalibrated to stop the false alerts.

Your seat belt warning system is malfunctioning across multiple rows. The middle row alarm sounds even when passengers are properly buckled, and has now stopped detecting whether belts are fastened at all. Two seats in the third row are triggering intermittent false alarms regardless of whether anyone is sitting in them or whether they're buckled. The problem seems to occur randomly and doesn't depend on how heavy the passenger is. The fix will likely involve diagnosing and replacing faulty seat belt sensors or the control module that monitors them.

The middle-right passenger seatbelt does not properly register as engaged on the dashboard indicator. When a passenger buckles in, the system fails to show that the seatbelt is latched.
When the safety belt is buckled in the middle row seat with people sitting there, the system shows the safety belt isn't buckled and warning alert sounds some times. It is very annoying. The dealership hasn't part to replace it.
