problem #2

  • miles
The seatbelt jammed in the "closed" position and I was only able to deploy it for restraining purposes with considerable effort. The belt has frayed along the front leading edge and this could be jamming the retractor mechanism. The belt has so frayed - just from this jam - I will have to have it replaced immediately before I can operate the vehicle.
