On 9-14-19 I got into my truck to drive. Without realizing it, my seat belt did not recoil the last time I got out of my truck. When I reached to put the seat belt on, without knowing it, the seat belt wrapped itself around the seat reclining handle. While driving I stopped at a light and the belt must of tightened up more and pulled the reclining handle which put me in a lateral position while driving. If I hadn't pull myself up by the steering wheel and slam on my brakes, I would have hit the vehicle in front of me! I am afraid to drive my truck anymore without checking on the seat belt every day.
