2011 Volvo XC60 Seat belts Problems

“Malfunctioning seat belt latches and buckles- the seat belt latches do not release the buckle very good when needing to exit the vehicle (they stick in place until the latch is held at a specific angle while pressing the release button) I dont believe this is an intended safety feature. This issue is present in all 5 seat positions latches and buckles in my car. After special attention to unbuckle myself, I often have to walk around to the back doors to get in the back seat so I can unlatch my sons buckle also. …”

“Seat belt recall issued june 30, 2020 (info below). Called the Volvo dealer (autonation in bellevue, wa) and they reported that no parts will be available until november 2020 and that I should call back then.

“The front passenger seat belt will not release without much difficultly. If the vehicle started on fire or went into water, the passenger would likely die. I contacted Volvo and they will not help other than charging over $800 to replace the seat belt.”
