There are 2 issues I am reporting. 1.) The passenger front seat belt tensioner does not allow you to buckle the seat belt. 2.) The vehicle will go into limp mode and shift into 3 gear. I disconnect the battery and wait about 15 seconds and the problem is magically resolved.

THE 3RD ROW SEATBELTS CLICK AS IF THEY'RE LATCHING AND DO NOT LOCK. THIS ALLOWS THEM TO POP OUT WHEN UNEXPECTED AND WOULD BE DANGEROUS IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS 3ROW PRETTY MUCH FITS CHILDREN WHO MAY NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM. I PAID TO REPLACE MINE AND WITHIN 4 MONTHS THE NEW ONES I BOUGHT FROM DEALER BROKE. IT APPEARS THE FAULTY DESIGN OF THE FOLDING SEAT IS ONE THING THAT BREAKS THE SEATBELTS LATCHES. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND JUST SELL THE VEHICLE TO SOME UNSUSPECTING PERSON. BELOW I PUT ROUGHLY THE DATE I FOUND IT, BUT HAD BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS ALREADY BROKEN. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IT OR KNOW TO CHECK IT.
