 We rarely have put the rear seat in the folded down position but did so this past weekend to bring home some baby gear from a friend's house. when i tried to lift the seat back to the upright position it wouldn't raise. it appears that the middle seat belt locked and will not release. we have three (3) children and must have all three (3)seat belts usable. went online to search for help and we found many incidents of this happening on multiple year saturns which would indicate a serious design flaw; yet we will be liable for the expense because the warranty has passed unless we can find a way to release the locking mechanism.

 In 2006 saturn vue, the rear seat is a 2/3 split bench (the rear passenger- and middle-seatback fold down together to accommodate for large objects). upon lowering the seatback, the middle seatbelt became locked in the lowered position. the dealer told me the only remedy was to cut the seatbelt. they then told me they would not pay for the seatbelt to be replaced (warranty has expired on interior parts). i believe it is a manufacturing defect, and should be replaced at saturn's expense. there was absolutely nothing i could have done to prevent this from happening. i was using the automobile features as they are intended to be used. *tr
