Hey guys, yesterday on the frreway my buckle up light came on for a while then turned off then back on ,then its stopped. I have the motorized belts , they work fine, no jerking or hesitation. Anyone had this problem b4? I think it might be the contact in the clip that is used up but would like your opinion on it. thanks guys

 

Mine has done this off and on for years now....You can bypass the faulty sensor if you want....I just ignore it..

i thought all the 3rd gens had the automatic belts

 

only usdm.
CDM didn't get them

 

oh, i like the auto ones :O

 

wow most people hate them but it really doesnt matter to me

 

Mine do this all the time too. I just ignore it as well

 

My did that and I bought it back to the local dealer 4 times and "forced" them to fix it. Seat belt are life time warranty.

 

Doug is right, the seatbelts have a lifetime warranty.

If you have any problems with them you can take them into the dealer and they will have to fix them. I think there is a clause about abuse, but the things you all are talking about should be fixed. I think in a lot of instances you have to be forceful and bring in the warranty information or at least be prepared to make them look it up.

My driver's side belt was frayed pretty bad and I took it in. Initially, they didn't want to fix it, but eventually I got to the service manager and read him the warranty information out of my owner's manual. He had to double check it in the information they had. They did replace it for free. As a bonus, the entire front seat belt system (both driver and passenger side) is all one assembly, so both belts were replaced.

 

There is a electronic switch built into the lap belt assembly where your red release button is. The switch tend to get dirty. Buy some "electronic contact cleaner" from Radio Shack, Spray it in and you should be back in business.

It fixed mine!

 

I still can's get past all the great info here. I, like many others I am sure, just dealt with the seatbelt digging. Just another crazy quark!! But now there is hope! HA!!

 

right now i just tap/slap/whack the buckle till it stops lol. ill fix it on the weekend

 

Its really easy to bypass it one of the best things ive done to my car

 

Auto seatbelts are one of my fav features. honestly

 

every now and than when i close my door my drivers side seat belt won't move than like 2 or 3 seconds later it will engage. is that normal and does anyone think i should worry about it?

 

check your wires under your seat... what fixed mine

 

The passenger side on mine did that once, only it didn't engage at all until I unhooked it and buckled it back up. It hasn't happened since, but it did freak my girlfriend out

 

by unhooked do you mean at the "A" piller or at the door latch?

 

On the part that moves the automatic belt forward and back there is an emergency release button (should be a red sticker). Once I un-buckled that, the motorized part kicked in and went forward without the belt, then came back. That's when I buckled it back up. Maybe there was something wrong with what makes the belt tighten on mine, I don't know. I'm just telling you what I did. Hope it helps, though-

 

Motorized seatbelts are great. Atleast you never have to worry about getting a ticket for not wearing your seat belt. Some times they can strangle you if you are not careful, but its worth it.
