Had surgery on leg so was sitting in backseat behind the passenger seat. I was sitting sideways to keep my leg elevated. When we arrived at our cabin and the car was parked. . . . I spun around to normal seating position to remove the seat belt and get out of the car. However, the seat belt tensioner kept getting tighter and tighter with each movement I made. I was thinking this is crazy. . This can't be happening. . It has to eventually release the tension. It did not. It kept getting tighter until I was pinned into the door jamb with it strangling me around my neck. My partner helped pull it down off my neck while I held the seatbelt from tightening further. He then ran into the cabin and grabbed a pair of scissors to cut me out. I am a 220 lb fit shape 6'-2" tall male.
2012 Lr4; the driver's side seat belt does not retract well; dealer said "just give it a tug to get it to retract;" don't think that's a solution; retraction tension is not strong enough; as a result, the belt and its metal head get caught in the door, damaging the door upholstery and paint finish, as well as damaging (weakening probably) the belt.
