Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The driver's seat belt is easily unsnapped. the thumb release button is very sensitive, therefore if my arm/elbow touches it, the latch will release. the actual release is designed so that the release button is slightly elevated making this possible. on my 1994 legacy, the button is level or slightly recessed. the seatbelt has released several times under normal driving conditions. it seems in a roll-over, something is going to hit this button, with the possibility of release. thank you, bob. *ak
