Seatbelt malfunctioning

Hi,

I have an '03 C2 and the passenger seatbelt catches when I pull it at normal speed (not jerking it), it will catch after I pull a few inches or so and if I release it and let it retract a bit, it will allow me to pull further but the same thing repeats after I pull a few more inches. It's as if the autotensioner is way too trigger happy and "thinks" there's a collision and hence locking the belt. It's not the chidseat self-retcheting mechanism that's locking the belt. It's the normal locking you will experience if you jerk the belt quickly except I did not jerk the belt. I also let it retract all the way before pulling the belt but that didn't help.

If it's the autotensioner, is it an expensive item to replace? ****, car is only one week out of the original warranty...

Thanks!
