    The front seat passenger seat belt is stuck and will not release to allow buckling. I contacted the lakeland ford dealer and they said that they would not replace it, without me paying $505, even though they knew it was a safety issue and offered a rental car while the repair would be completed.

    I have been having more and more trouble with being able to unbuckle my seatbelt from the belt buckle after parking and attempting to get out, it keeps getting stuck and doesn't release like it's supposed to. I have never spilled anything on it, or inside the belt buckle locking mechanism. My vehicle is a 2011 ford mustang gt.
