When a seatbelt locks up it is usually due to dirt or corrosion in the automatic locking mechanism. The mechanism can't release because it is under tension. If you get into the cover that houses the release mechanism for the seatbelt, you may be able to hit it with a little wd-40. You do have to release that tension so that the lock will spring back to the open position and allow the seatbelt to retract. Try the lube. Sometimes the galvanized coating on the internal parts causes a seize.

SOURCE: Volvo V70 rear seatbelt jammed

you can remove the bolt that holds the seatbelt to the floor by pulling off the seatpad where the belt goes to the floor and then raise the seat and the belt should reset. this happens on my passenger side rear seat.

SOURCE: 1999 volvo s80 passenger seat stuck in forward position

you will need to check to make sure no coins fell into the track and is jammed it if not you will need to replace the bottom frame of the seat possible with a junk yard one much cheaper than buying new and junkyard frames come complete.

SOURCE: rear seat down and wont go back up; locked middle belt

middle seat belt shouldn't have anything to do with it. The seat locks down for stowage in the rear cargo area. you can pull the release handle on the back of the seat to release it back into the up position.

SOURCE: Driver's seat unable to move forward or backward

There are plastic gears connecting the track to the seat assembly. Whne one of these strip the seat will only work or move to one side. Infiniti does not sell a simple fix. You are looking at buying an entire seat assembly complete with the module for all the electronics. It will be at a cost of around $950 - $1000. Once that is in, Infiniti must program the seat to the brain of the car, only then can you reset your memory settings.

I have 2012 ford mondeo hatch and the middle rear seatbelt is locked. We can not pull it out. Can this be fixed at home? Or does the whole seat need to be replaced or repaired at ford?

You do not fix seat belts you replace them, the chance of the seat belt retractor not functioning correctly and failing to lock the belt in a collision is just not worth saving a few bucks, wouldn't you agree?

Middle back seat: seat belt is locked up & will not release!!!

DO NOT CUT YOUR SEATBELT!!! Simply unbolt the seat from the body, unbolt the seatbelt from the body under the seat, tilt the seat forward, pull the seatbelt and part that attaches to the body between the seat cushion and backrest and release the tension. Not the easiest fix, but it only takes 30 minutes to do, and will save you a LOT of money. If you cut that seatbelt, you will be buying a new rear seat.

Rear middle seatbelt won't pull out in holden astra after I have folded down the seat , so can't return seat to correct position . How do I fix?

I agree with the above comments. I just had this same problem. Holden (Australia) quoted me AU$650 to fix it. I bought a T50 torx bit (like an Allen key)from supercheap auto for $11.
raise the seat back up as much as you can (I could only raise mine about 20 inches). Wriggle your hand in and find the bottom bolt of the seat belt clip (this will be the seatbelt clip for the side seatbelt) and start undoing it. It isn't hard, just fiddly considering you probably won't be able to see what you are doing. Once undone, you will be able to raise the seat.
I was still unable to loosen my middle seatbelt immediately. I came back to it a while later and it had freed up.
Simply a matter of then bolting it back in place. It was so easy - and I'm just a middle aged woman with no handyman/car skills whatsoever!

2005 jeep grand cherokee hello the middle seatbelt in the rear seat middle is not coming our I am unable to use the seat belt seems like it is stuck what can I do to try and fix the problem without...

You can unbolt the belt at the bottom under the seat. Its kinda hard to get to. Its connected to the left side belt release. Once unbolted you can replace the part. Or if you want you can atleast get it to release by letting it go all the way to the top. The only problem with that is the problem will come back.

My back seat middle seatbelt is locked and the seat is folded down. how do i unlock the seatbelt to raise the seat back upright

That just happened to our 05 equinox. We have car seats so one of the seats was reclined just a bit. This will cause the seatbelt to lock. We took out the car seat, folded down the other seat and folded it back. It cause the locked seat to release and unfold.

Seat belts

Hi, sit in middle seat facing forward. If seatbelt is mounted in roof over your right shoulder, the clip on the end of the seatbelt clips in down by your right hip. Then the 'free' clip clips in by your left hip in to one of the two seatbelt clips. If you have done it right you should have a lap/sash configuration with the belt form the roof running over your right shoulder. The roof belt is also 'inertia reel' and behaves the same as all the other belts. To get out of the seat belt undo the 'free' or middle point clip only. When you have finished altogether, press key in to end clip lock and store back in the roof.
If you have problems getting clips in to holders press the release tab on the holder.
Hope that helps.
