| Was driving my recently bought 2002 subaru outback, when my child who was sitting in the middle seat in the back started screaming that the seatbelt was hurting her and she couldn't breathe. i made an emergency stop at a full service gas station, jumped out and tried getting the seatbelt undone but it was stuck. ran in and grabbed a mechanic and he was luckily able to release it and he said that the tensioner was bad. this could have been a much worse case if it didnt happen a block from help. | |||

| The driver's seat belt is easily unsnapped. the thumb release button is very sensitive, therefore if my arm/elbow touches it, the latch will release. the actual release is designed so that the release button is slightly elevated making this possible. on my 1994 legacy, the button is level or slightly recessed. the seatbelt has released several times under normal driving conditions. it seems in a roll-over, something is going to hit this button, with the possibility of release. thank you, bob. *ak | |||

| Everytime it rains or go through a car wash the seat belt gets wet and is worse when the seat belt has been retracted as the wet area now is all across you. it apparently is making its way through the sunroof. what is the repair for this, new seals in the sunroof or the roof rack mounting holes? *jb | |||
