Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2005 subaru legacy gt passenger seat belt sensor is not functioning correctly. the seat belt warning light and chime comes on after driving about 7 miles with no one in the seat or anything sitting on the seat. it seams to be worse in the winter than in the summer. the reno dealer has 'calibrated' it at least twice and several times the service advisor said try putting the back of the seat more vertical and that should fix the problem (it did not). i e-mailed subaru support and was told that the problem does appear to be a normal operation of the vehicle. i was given the option to perform a procedure to permanently disable this warning chime, which i do not want to do. *jb
