Seat belt wont pull put past 3inches on middle seat.

We just bought a used pathfinder 4 days ago from a popular car saler out of town. Not a dealership by any means.
I found that the middle 2nd row bench seat belt will not pull out. It constantly locks up even if I go extremely slow. I have even tried various angle of pulling with no luck. I dunno if this makes a difference or not but there isn't any fabric guard around where it comes out..so an exposed black bar and the raw seat fabric and padding. There is just enough seatbelt length that the seat belt will buckle into the latch if I really tug it enough..I tried looking all around the seat but could not figure out how to fix this issue as its inside the seating unit... also in doing the search I noticed how rusty the tracks are. Is that normal for an 2014 vehicle? The seats slide ok for the most part. I'm not very strong upper body so assumed that was the issue.. I have 5kids that ride with me (3 of which are in carseats) so I need this middle seatbelt to work! Any ideas on how to fix?

Seat belt warranty is 10-years, so take it to your local Nissan dealer and have them fix it for free.
