My 2016 nissan sentra middle rear seat belt is stuck in the retracted position. I can't use the seatbelt. how do I get it to release?

The likely cause is a broken spring/mechanism in the belt coil. I'm sure you can get a replacement for this belt.

I have a 2002 Chevy Tahoe and the 3 point seatbelt on the rear passenger side rear seat has been pulled out all of the way and now it won't retract back into it's holder. Is there an easy wa

The re-tractor is called an Inertia Reel. There on the side, remove the cover and there is a trigger release on most. If the spring is broken, you will need to replace the reel. Check at a local junk yard for the best price.

My automatic seatbelt doesnt work anymore. i have a 1990 accord lx 5-speed and it used to get stuck have way and know it wont recline at all. is it a bad fuse or the computer? i disconnected the seatbelt...

If both passengers and drivers side retractable belts have stopped moving, then it's likely the controller that's located under the passengers seat has gone bad. If only one side has stopped retracting and moving then that side motor has probably gone bad.

I have a seat belt stuck on the front passenger side of a mercedes benz e 230 1996 model what do i do to release it

make sure it isnt twisted untwist as neccessary, pull it out and try and let it retract, if this works and it unjams try washing the seat belt with a mild soap and water solution. if this doesnt help and it remains stuck seatbelt may have to be replaced.
