The Seat Belt problem

The rear middle seat belt on the car got stuck (or locked). No accident or misuse of the equipment happened. It happened when I was reinstalling my child seat. Now, I am unable to install the child seat. It is a big safety issue and I recommend the government have the manufacturer fix it.   Read details...

The Front Seat Belt Retractor problem
