Drivers seat belt will not release. You have to keep working with it & pulling on it to finally get it to release. This happens when the vehicle is stopped at 0 mph. This has been going on for the last 4 months.I fell this is very unsafe incase of fire, or for another reason you need to get out of the vehicle in a hurry.
