Problem w/seat belt latch?
Hi all,
I've noticed recently something odd that I've never seen or heard of: the driver seat belt in my HHR is getting harder and harder to "undo". The red latch that you press down to release the buckle moves OK, but I find that I have to press hard at the bottom to get it to release the belt. It's now a the state where is takes me 2-3 attempts to free myself up every time.
Aside from being annoying, I find it mildly unsafe in case I have to get out of the car quickly (accident or fire) or if somebody else has to get me out.
Questions:
1) I am the only one with that problem?
2) Are these things adjustable/fixable or I am looking at a complete replacement?
3) Since this is obviously a safety issue, any chance that this is covered by a longer warranty? (My bumper-to-bumper expired, but I'm still within the powertrain warranty coverage).

Questions:
1) I am the only one with that problem? First I've heard of it on an HHR
2) Are these things adjustable/fixable or I am looking at a complete replacement? Not adjustable must replace entire buckle side (female)
3) Since this is obviously a safety issue, any chance that this is covered by a longer warranty? (My bumper-to-bumper expired, but I'm still within the powertrain warranty coverage). No coverage after 3/36.
