Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Front passenger seat belt locks up and tightens, restricting (eliminating!)any passenger movement. it is like a snake and just keeps tightening down. in addition, pressure becomes so great on seat belt release, my wife and child are unable to release the seat-belt. this happens at all speeds, standing still, forward or reverse, etc... dealer has attempted to repair problem, retractor has been replaced and same condition was present after replacement,third retractor is scheduled for install. firmly believe this is a design fault and dealer has done all to repair problem at their level. in addition, this problem has been experienced by me on several work vehicles both tahoe and pick-up all 2002 years. all other retractors in my vehicle with the exception of the front passenger seat, work properly.*ak *jb
