Seatbelts are designed with a built-in safety mechanism that is meant to lock up when it is being pulled too fast or during rapid movements that holds you tightly in place during an accident, crash, or a sudden stop. So, if you pull the seatbelt too quickly when putting it on or adjusting it, it might get stuck and stop extending. To avoid this, try pulling the seatbelt out slowly and steadily. If it’s still getting stuck, there might be an issue with the retractor mechanism inside, such as dirt buildup or wear and tear. In that case, cleaning or a professional inspection may be needed to ensure it works smoothly.
