Default Seat Belt Problem

Has anyone had problems with driver safety belt locking while trying to put it on? I'm talking in the first 3" of the pull it locks up. Then I have to pull release pull release until I get enough out to latch belt. My wife says she has never had a problem with it.

No problems here. Since the other half hasn't had the issue, it would lead me to think it may have to do with seat position.

I believe the seat belt system is covered under warranty regardless of mileage or age...at least with other manufacturers it is. Might check the manual for exact warranty info, I don't have mine handy.

There is a recall for that- my passenger belt is doing it, but after going to the dealer it turned out they already fixed it under recall with the previous owner (OBVIOUSLY they didnt fix the problem, only used a temp. solution)
and they're saying they can't do it again for free, so now im going to have to do it- luckily I found a used belt for $25...
