My passenger seat belt in the front got stuck. I took the truck to the dealer to see if they could get the seat belt unlock but they couldn't. so I had no other choice but to have the dealer cut the seat belt. This was the first time this has happen and would like to know if there is a problem with the seat belts in the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazers.
