I got into my car, specifically in the seat behind the passenger. I always sit here, because I have to care for my 8 month old daughter and my 4 year old son. While on the highway in the busy lanes of California, my seatbelt clips off the latch. At this point we're about 2 hours away from home, and there's heavy traffic. I try multiple times to put the seatbelt back into its place but it will not clip on. I cannot hop to the front seat or jump over to the back due to having our seats down for extra space for items that we had bought. Aside from this, we're stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. Nothing differently was done this day. There was no pulling or playing around with the seatbelt, it just stopped working on its own. I was scared for my safety. Aside from my safety being at risk, I got have gotten in trouble with law enforcement for not wearing a seatbelt. I'm writing this to bring to your attention that seatbelt need to be checked and taken more seriously. I have never seen something like this happen. This is extremely scary and dangerous. The seatbelt on a car seat could have been the one to clip off, and a car seat could have flipped over causing injuries or a scared on a minor. This has to be taken in consideration and very serious. A seatbelt is very important and mandatory.

The seat belts in the 3rd row lock and do not release. My son was just stuck in the car and it took almost an hour for us to get him out because of the seatbelt. It kept tightening when we tried to get it off and wouldn't release. The vehicle was parked and turned off.

I attempted to buckle the driver's side seatbelt and it failed. It appears that the side anchored to the car came apart and the belt separated. This left only the shoulder portion functional without the use of the lap portion of the belt. The car was stationary and in park.
