The front passenger seat belt locks up and can't be adjusted. It continues to get tighter after fastening and allows for no movement. It is very uncomfortable and does not allow for any movement. It has been that way since original purchase in 2001. I have brought to attention of chevy dealership. Answer always being that there is no recall for this issue.
