Consumer states passenger's side seat belt fits too tightly, passenger unable to move. Dealer replaced seat, but problem was not resolved. Dealer brought in a 2003 Trailblazer. The seat belts did the same thing. The height of the seat belt isn't adjustable and cuts across your throat, depending on you size (driver and passenger side). Consumer had to purchase special seat belt adjusters to make the belts wearable and more importantly-safe. Consumer had recently discovered the tightness of the rear seat belts.
