The seatbelt became very tight on my daughter, I was unable to get the shoulder belt to release (it should when the belt is fed into the upper part0 it would not release, and became tighter. My daughter was unable to get out so we cut the belt to get her removed from the seat belt. The oppositte side works correctly. We were told there is no warranty because of the milage on the car. I asked about it being a safety feature of the car, they said it didn't matter. Cost approx. $130.

Passenger's side shoulder belt comes across the person's neck. Has to put the belt under the arm, which defeats the purpose of the belt. Dealer contacted and cannot remedy the problem. Problem still exists.
