Description of the problem	When the vehicle is stationary, and the ambient air is approximately 65f, or higher the drivers side seat belt will not release/extend not allowing the driver to fasten the seat belt. I have tried with the vehicle in park, reverse, neutral, with and without the e break on, and moving forward but the belt will not extend, after extensive tries it will extend a short distance at a time until i can finally fasten it. This condition happens with much less severity and frequency when the air is cooler.
