Otherwise, it will go into this self-locking mode (which should only be used to secure child safety seats). You can tell the belt is in this mode if it makes a ratcheting or clicking sound as it retracts.   If this occurs for an adult, unbuckle the belt, let it retract fully, and then put in on again without pulling out the belt all the way.   Almost all cars have this feature today as a safety feature to more securely hold child restaints in place (does not apply for obvious reasons to the driver's belt).

The dealership told me it was 300 dollars to replace it. I told them to just "fix it" not replace it. They told me there was no fixing it, it has to be removed and replaced with a brand new one. They told me it was not a defect, and that the seatbelt spool had been designed that way for the child seat installation. I think that this type of seatbelt design is dangerous. It could choke people and/or injure someone. Replies to this message: 210delray (Oct 23, 2009 5:43 pm)
