What owners wrote
Consumer states that driver's front safety belt latch plate does not lock into the buckle when attempting to secure. Consumer does not have the protection of safety belt when driving.
As I was driving on the interstate going about 60 MPH, my seat belt (driver's side) came unbuckled. As I attempted to buckle it again, I was unable to get it to stay buckled. I contacted the local car dealer who asked me to bring the vehicle in for them to inspect. Upon inspection by the dealer where I bought the truck, I was informed of the need to have the seat belt connector unit replaced. This was done the next day, and I have retained the replaced part.
