The passenger side seat belt in the second row refused to latch while the vehicle was stationary or in motion. The dealership stated that it was not covered under our warranty. The sun/moon roof has leaked on several occasions causing me to pay out of pocket for repairs.

Also the middle belt locked up and would not unroll. So a total of 5 issues with one row of belts and buckles. This is the row my…
