Question fed 3 film problem

So I recently purchased a red fed 3 on ebay. The camera appears to work okay but when I rewind the film it rips. I assumed that I had messed something up when loading it. So I got my boyfriend to load the second roll of film into it. Either we both loaded the film wrong or there's something wrong with the camera.

What happens is I rewind until suddenly there's tension so I used a tiny amount of force and it begins turing again. When I take it out the film is ripped and I've lost the first 2-4 pictures. Part of the film is still wrapped around the film take up reel. I'm wondering if the film is getting caught on something.

Has anyone had a similar problem?
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
