Hi There, Just wondering if anyone else has had any issues with the seatbelts locking. My 9 year old son was in the middle of the back seat - seatbelt buckled; he was moving around doing something and it unbuckled (not a big deal for a few seconds)... He turned to get something and somehow the seatbelt became locked (would have been nice if he had told me then, not 30 minutes later when we stopped). I tried everything I could think of to loosen the strap... gently fed it back a little to release the locking mechanism - nothing worked and it was so tight around him there was not much slack to work with. God forbid there was an emergency, he was trapped. I tried with the car running, with it off, after driving a a short distance with gentle breaking. NOTHING worked. I finally just had to cut the strap to get him out... he had marks on his waist from it - like a burn - nothing bad, but enough that you could see it plainly. Has anyone else had any problems w/their Fusion seatbelts? Ours is brand new - 2015; we've only had it since Sept 2014. Thanks!
