Description of the problem	We have had several problems with all the seatbelts in our dodge minivan prior to the date of this incident but until now we had only seen them as aggravations. The seatbelts tend to tighten slightly and when trying to loosen them they will lock up and have to be unbuckled to reset them. Sometimes they will still remain locked up even when the seatbelt is unbuckled. Sometimes jerking the belt several times will finally release it. On august 19, 2011, our 10 year old child got caught in this faulty seatbelt. On a long out of town trip, the cross belt was behind the headrest and the lap belt had become tightened. As he struggled with the seatbelt, it got tighter. All this was during transit. We stopped and he unbuckled the seatbelt but that only made it tighter. He is a thin boy but it was obvious he had his gut sucked in and the belt was pushing under his ribs. The car was parked and shut off. We struggled with it a few minutes trying to get it to release but it was apparent our child was in distress. We were just about to cut the belt when we decided to lay the seat as far back as possible and had our child do a somersault out of the lap belt. Our child had bruises on his stomach and side and was shaken up and sore. What would be the outcome if he had been trapped during a car accident/fire?
