Has anybody had any issues with their driver's side seat belt latch NOT working all the time. Mine will have the "Fasten your Freakin' Seatbelt" alarm go off and I have to click it closed a couple of times to get it ti de-activate the alarm. |

Sounds like a bad switch in the latch. Warranty item since you have a '07,time for a dealership visit. |

Or if it is just the bell that drives you nuts, you can disable that with a series of latch/unlatch tricks. It tells you how to do it in the owner's manual. I disabled my beeper after 2 days! |

One reason to make sure it works is, at-least around here, If you get pulled over or are in an accident, the local fuzz can hook a reader to your computer port and see if the seatbelt was being worn at the time. So if i am stopped or hit by some fool, and they check it and it says that i didn't have it on when I did, then the accident is automatically my fault cuz i was breaking the law when the accident happened. |

The "trick" to turning off the bell that is outlined in the owner's manual does not tell the computer that the seat belt is always latched/unlatched. It just silences the bell. You still get a seat belt notice light on the dash... |

I haven't had any issues with the sensor on the buckle. I deal with a weak retractor on the driver seat though and that can get annoying! |
