Some seatbelts us an explosive charge to "tighten" the belt during an accident. I'm not sure if your Sharan uses that type of system.

To find out what is going on, you will have to remove the interior trim to gain access to the seat belt roller, to see if the roller is stuck
(the ratchet part that locks the belt) or if it has to do with the explosive charge pack (if it has one).

We do not have the Sharan in North America, but I might be able to find some information for you... can you post the VIN#?

sample: WVWZZZ7MZTV029320
