I purchased my chevrolet trail blazer new in 2003. Soon after, my driver's seatbelt began to lock up and would not release in order to put it on, leaving me to drive without wearing a seatbelt. I notified the dealer of the problem. Over the past 5 years they have replaced the seatbelt, frame, or mechanisms 5 times. I have 15 documented times of issues with the seatbelt. This does not include all the phone calls or hundreds of times it locked up that I eventually got it unlocked myself. I called and wrote their customer service department. The dealer finally found a document they presented me dealing with the issue which states you have to get out of the car and press in certain areas to release the belt. Sometimes this works, sometimes I am unable to get it to release and must drive without a seatbelt. This is illegal in my state and punishable by a ticket and fine. I have begged for help to no avail with the dealer who says they are sorry. I searched online and this seems to be a problem for others as well.
