“12/15/2020 - noticed 'service air bag' warning in morning as I pulled into parking for work. When leaving for lunch no warning on - as I pulled out of parking warning appeared again - as I leaned forward to read - loud 'bang' and was pulled back into seat by hard retraction of seatbelt. Followed by smell of burning. Parked car, struggled to get out of seatbelt - looked around for damage - nothing - only seatbelts stuck retracted. Drove home carefully - plugged in obd 2 reader - four codes; b0015-04, b0022-00, b0052-04, b101d-00. …”
