Seat shoulder belt continuously sliides upward to a horizontal position-- across neck and over to right underarm.the belt edge lays next to the left side of my neck which seems potentially fatal in a crash. I need to pull the belt back to center every few minutes when I am driving this car. I have never had this problem in other cars.
