I was driving up to kids school to park and parked and tried to take the seat belt off and it was stuck. The red release button was stuck down. I was able to get it released, but the red release button was still stuck down. I tried to re-buckle and nothing worked. I went to the dealership "napletons" and they said that the part was on national back order. I am still waiting.
