Child passenger, in the extended cab complained of the seat belt tightening. Belt would not release when unlocked, bruising shoulder/neck and abdomen area. Seat belt was cut with a knife. Sudden braking or impact was not the cause of the seat belt tension. Dealer was contacted and will replace unit. Consumer states that the seat belt was actually choking the child.
