| Seatbelt ceased to function. seems to be a problem/defect with the retractor mechanism. seatbelt in question is second row, passenger side. had a child car seat secured in our vehicle with seat belt. child outgrew seat, so switched out for a booster seat. attempted to buckle child into booster seat. seat belt locked across child's chest. i unbuckled the seat belt to re-buckle it more comfortably. the seatbelt gave a little slack, then froze in it's position. it no longer retracts, nor does it extend further. concerned, because how would the broken belt have functioned had there ever been a crash? moreover, concerned about safety/functionality of other belts in the vehicle. *tr | |||
