That's why we have warranty 😇
3rd row middle seatbelt stuck (fully extended, won't retract)
The 3rd row middle seatbelt (the one that hangs from the ceiling) in our 2023 Carnival is stuck and won't retract. It's pulled all the way out, so that when I try to pull it, only 1/4" or so comes out. I've tried pulling hard, pulling soft, forward, backwards, hitting it with a mallet, sticking a screwdriver in there, etc., and nothing has gotten it to retract.
The problem happened when my wife, a teacher, was carting a load of kids on a field trip. It was probably the first time that particular seatbelt was used, so it seems like a manufacturer defect.
Any suggestions for how to fix this, short of bringing it to the dealer?

Have the same issue. Unbuckling the small buckle and letting it retract back to the ceiling does the trick.
