Front Seat Belt problem #1

When I tried to fasten the driver's seat belt it wouldn't release. After two attempts to release the seat belt, it fully released without any tension on the seat belt. The driver's seat belt is completely useless as a restraining device since there is no tension.

Front Seat Belt Retractor problem #2

The front passenger side and driver side seat belts were not retracting.
