“The right rear seat belt became locked out while unbuckled during a stop at a restaurant. We returned to the car to find it wouldn't release so we could buckle up to continue our journey. We tried loosening the small part that was on a booster seat and it retracted but still refused to release. The seat belt is unusable at the moment. Will visit a dealer.”
