Your driver's seat belt is stuck and won't pull out smoothly—you have to jerk it hard to get it loose. Once released, it retracts very slowly. The seat belt also restricts your movement in the seat. The dealer identified that the internal retractor mechanism is broken and needs to be repaired or replaced.

NHTSA #: 880331
