“2 separate seat belt latches/catches on different seats have failed on my 2003 Volvo xc70 since march of 2009. In both instances, the problem was discovered and repaired under normal circumstances. There was no accident or collision associated with the failures. I find it very strange that 2 different seat belt catch assemblies would fail on the same car. I will be submitting separate complaints for each incident, as they happened on different dates to different parts. December 2010 - driver seat belt catch assembly did not work; seat belt would not connect. …”
