Problem overview

Some Volkswagen Tiguan owners report experiencing issues with the rear center seat belt getting stuck due to a factory twist in the guide assembly. Common causes for this problem include dirt build-up, a twisted belt, a locked retractor mechanism, or general wear and tear over time. Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial, as they can prevent seat belt issues by ensuring the belt is free from obstructions. Additionally, the auto-lock function can cause the seat belt to jam; owners can address this by unfastening the belt, pulling it out as much as possible, and allowing it to retract. If problems persist or if the seat belt remains stuck after an accident, it is advisable to seek professional assistance to safely reset or repair the seat belt system.
