Consumer Description

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
