“New Volvo V70 wagon. Tested laying rear seats down to increase cargo space. Right rear belt would not extend and was locked in a retracted position after the seat was layed down and restored to it's original operating position. This seat and belt were not suitable for occupancy as the seat belt would not function. Car was returned to Volvo for repairs. Unknown type of repair at this time. Phone interview update (oct 11, 2005): the failure is internal to the retractor and not cause by interference with the seat. Purchased the vehicle while traveling oversea in sweden. …”
NHTSA complaint #10139198, filed 2005-10, 1,320 miles“Front seat belts on vehicle have problems.

In other words unless vehicle is parked on a totally flat surface (rare on actual streets) seatbelts will often stay retracted or are extremely difficult to extract. I often have to drive to a flatter location in order to put my seatbelt on. …”
