FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT LOCKS DUE TO A SAFETY CATCH FOR A CHILD SEAT OR CHILD. THE SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT OR BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSES BELT TO TIGHTEN TO THE POINT OF DISCOMFORT. IT MAY HAVE BEEN DESIGNED AS A SAFETY FEATURE, BUT IT HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD SINCE MY WIFE WILL NOT USE THE BELT. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CADILLAC TO NO AVAIL. THEY CLAIM IT WORKS TO SPECS, BUT THEY HAVE NOT TRIED TO RIDE WITH IT ON FOR ANY TIME. *JB
