Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Driver's seat belt comes undone, even after manually tugging on same to see if secured. i am mostly alone in the car and don't know if the other belts do the same. this has occurred since i bought the car. the belt can come undone when i tug on it, or later. it can come undone while parked or moving at no particular speed. i would say in retrospect, i usually notice it not too far from my house and i live in the city, so perhaps it happens at 0 to low speeds. i notice on those occassions that the seatbelt does not click when fastened. sometimes you cannot force it to click shut. *ak
