Consumer Description

WHEN TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE SEAT BELTS STARTING RETRACTING AND WOULD NOT RELEASE AND GETS TIGHTER WITH EVERY LITTLE MOVEMENT. THE ONLY WAY TO RELEASE WAS TO SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND OPEN DOOR. THIS HAS STARTED TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME WHEN GOING MORE THAN 25 - 30 MILES. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE PART TO FIX THIS WAS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET TO SEE IF I COULD FIND A PART AND WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP THAT 129 OF THESE PARTS WERE ON BACKORDER AND SEEMS THAT NONE HAVE BEEN SHIPPED IN A WHILE. MY VEHICLE IS INOPERABLE WITH OUT THE USE OF THE SEAT BELTS.*JS
