“My wife's new 2006 Hummer H3 safety belt would not unlock. Making my wife stuck in the passenger seat. My wife being pregnant there was no way to release her from the seat belt. This was the 2nd time it has happened. We ended up cutting the seat belt and taking it back to the dealer to replace. Still waiting on parts to arrive from dealer to replace entire seat belt and buckle on passenger side.”
