| The rear middle seat belt on the car got stuck (or locked). no accident or misuse of the equipment happened. it happened when i was reinstalling my child seat. now, i am unable to install the child seat. it is a big safety issue and i recommend the government have the manufacturer fix it. there are several other complaints about this incident that i could find when searching on the internet. not sure if they have officially been reported to the government. please feel free to reach me if you need more information. *tr | |||

| I have a 2001.5 volkswagen passat. when the car was under warranty (around 15,000 miles), the seatbelt mechanism was retracting very slowly so i took it in to be repaired, which they did do at no charge. the car is now out of warranty and i'm again having the same problem. i called the dealer and they said it could be repaired at my cost. is this considered a safety issue and should they repair it at no charge? | |||
