The seat belt in the rear passenger side will not retract or come out. It doesn't seem to be anchored. I have toddlers so, I need this seat belt. This leaves my children with no seat belt option. It's snow and ice out and my vehicle is now a hazard to my children's lives!

I have a 99 Tahoe that I was involved in an accident. I hit a car while doing 40mph that had pulled out infront of me. My air bags didn't deploy and my safety belt didn't keep me from hitting the steering wheel hard. Upon review of my safety belt, I noticed that it is routed incorrectly at the top holder. It binds on itself preventing it from retracting. My passenger side is routed correctly and works perfectly. I suffered a brain injury because of this and am quite concerned.
