2010 Subaru FORESTER Seat Belts Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	748180

Model Year	2010
File date	15/11/09
Component	SEAT BELTS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The front passenger seat belt storage spool will not release. The shoulder part of the belt was across the front side of the back rest and the lap part of the belt was flipped to the back side of the back rest and then buckled to keep the warning light from flashing while my dog was riding in the seat. The belt was left in this position after the dog vacated the seat. Later, my father sat in the seat , unbuckled it, and slipped under the shoulder part of the belt only as the lap part was still around the back of the seat. He then buckled it. After a short drive he released the buckle to get out of the car. The ratcheting spool for the seat belt would not release any stored belt. He tried moving the seat forward and back. Also tried moving the back rest up and down. The belt only tightened. Eventually he got out from under the belt . I then tried to get the storage spool to release. Still it only would tighten.. I took it to subaru santa monica where they informed me it was not covered by the lifetime warranty but that i could probably fix it myself by removing a couple of bolts. The belt is currently stuck very tightly around the seat rest.
