Driving up a road and the seat belt stuck and started to pull in tighter and tighter where it left marks across daughters body. Called onstar, turned car off, called 911 and seatbelts wouldn't release to undo so we cut the seat belt to get her out. It happened once, and two days later the front tightened on me and never touched brake to make it do that. Working with Pontiac to replace belts in car 2 months later. Taking forever to do.
