The drivers side seatbelt doesn't retract on it's own/spring is too weak, you have to feed it back in which is a pain. Most importantly it presents a safety hazard if your car gets trapped underwater or it's on fire, the very long & basically loose belt could tangle you up leaving you trapped in the vehicle to die a slow death.

The rear seat belts lock up and hold the occupants tight against the seats. So tight it makes it difficult to release them. Compared to front seats the belts are free until a abrupt stop

My son got trapped in the rear right passenger seatbelt while in parking and it got so tight as it was retracting back. We didn't understand the seriousness of the issue and saw him pulling it hard. The moment we saw him crying I had to cut the seat belt immediately as it became so tight around his tummy.
