Driver seat belt buckle button broke off, now the seatbelt is inoperative.tt
Driver's side seat belt fails to lock.tt
Buckle does not latch properly. Explain in more detail.tt
A penny, nickle, and a quarter fell into the female buckle assembly, probably over time from pockets and/or the console. The tongue and bucklejammed and would not release. The driver cut herself out with a sissors after being trapped. The tongue could be released from the buckle by slipping a thin screwdriver along the side of the tongue into the buckle and pushing down. Reinserting the tongue into the buckle with the coins in it caused the same jam with the same procedure to re-release. No experiment was performed to find out how many or which coin was causing the jam, all, one or some. The buckle sticks up in the air like a coin slot. No children would have put coins in the slot so they must have got in inadvertently from pockets or the console.
