Front Seat Belt Retractor problem #1

I have a 1997 GMC C1500 pickup. The passenger side seat belt has jammed and will not extend. It is illegal in my state to drive with out a seat belt. My GMC dealer wants to charge me $200 to fix the belt. Can I be charged, this much, for a failure of a safety system on a 7year old vehical?.

Seat Belt problem #2

The third door on passeger's side seat belt is too short, overweight person can't get into it.
