Mike Murrell Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) On my 2013 CMAX Energi and when I pulled the rear seat back up after being folded down I noticed the seatbelt receiver not there. It is stuck under the seat and even though I can feel it, there is no way that I can pull it back through? Any suggestions without removing the whole rear seat? Has this happened to anybody else? Thank You. Edited February 27, 2014 by Mike Murrell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wab Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Greetings and Welcome On our hybrid it looks like a two people job. From the driver’s side start letting the seat back down.From the passenger side the person with the longest arm reaches under the seat bottom and pushes the belt up as the driver side raises the seat back. hope it workswab Edited February 27, 2014 by wab Mike Murrell and ptjones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Murrell Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Thanks Wab. When I tried that it seemed like as the seat was folding down, allowing the most space to try and pull or push up the seat belt receiver, it jst would not flex enough to go through the opening. Tried and Tried and just millimeters seemed to make difference. I am convinced the seat will need to be removed, but if so, cannot understand how it got downthere in the first place. ??

wab Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Maybe a 3 people job. Someone in the front seat reaching back and pulling up on the belt between the seat back and bottom. OR maybe put something sold (football) in the seat as it is tilted, forcing the seat bottom down??? Mike Murrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tdefny Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Or let the dealer fix it on your next visit if you don't need the belt right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptjones Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 I had this happen with mine when the Dealer replaced the one of the receivers in the back seat and had to take back to Dealer to fix it. They had to remove seat again to fix it. They had never seen a CMAX before. :) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vangster94025 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 This happened to my 2013 CMAX Energi ... took it to the dealership and they couldn't push it back up.Upon further inspection while it was under the seat, they noticed that the receiver unit was cracked so we ordered a new unit and they had to take the seat out .

stevedebi Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 This happened to my 2013 CMAX Energi ... took it to the dealership and they couldn't push it back up.Upon further inspection while it was under the seat, they noticed that the receiver unit was cracked so we ordered a new unit and they had to take the seat out .Had it happen after they tore apart the rear interior chasing down a "styrofoam" squeak. When they put it back together, they forgot to get the receptacle back up. I took it back and they had to remove the seat to get it done.
