Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The rear seat belt mechanism failed. while riding in the car my daughter fell asleep. when she sat upright the seat belt had twisted around her middle. she was able to release the latch but the seat belt was feeding back in and would not release. i tried to pull the seat belt and was unable to advance the belt. it would retract causing more constriction on her. i eventually had to cut the belt to free her. *jb
