The vehicle was in park, with the engine running. The tailgate was open as I was loading a stroller into the back and my infant into a back passenger seat car seat. The driver's door was open, back drivers side door open, and tailgate open. The front passenger's seat belt pretensioner deployed and it sounded as though something hit the vehicle. I walked around the car to inspect for damage and even looked on top of the vehicle for damage. No damage occurred as nothing hit the vehicle. My wife got into the car in the front passenger seat and could not move the seat belt. I walked around and verified that it could not be moved as it was in the rest position with the pre-tensioner deployed. Issue: Non-event with front passenger seat belt pre-tensioner deployment Available to be inspected: Yes Safety at risk: My wife just had a c-section and if deployed with her in it, would have been much worse. Additionally, cannot use the seat now that seat belt is inoperable. Issue been reproduced: No. The pre-tensioner goes off with explosive charge making reproduction impossible. Warning lamps present: No.
