SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER
THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT WILL LOCK AND NOT PULL OUT THIS RENDERS THE BELT USELESS. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU PULL EASY OR HARD THE BELT WILL NOT PULL OUT. IN A DAY OR TWO IT WILL WORK FINE. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 OR 6 TIMES IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. WITH A 4 YEAR OLD AND A 6 YEAR OLD IN REAR BOOSTER SEATS I FIND THIS VERY DANGEROUS. *CB
