I purchased the vehicle used march 2014. The back passenger seat belt from the beginning is finicky. Sometimes it would click and lock and sometimes it never engages. Because of this we decided to just not use that seat. We thought maybe it just needed replaced. Now, yesterday, the middle seat belt came undone while my child was strapped into his car seat. I was going from a stop and turning into the grocery store. My son's seat fell on it's side. I don't know how long it had actually been undone at that point.
