THE SEATBELTS DO NOT RETRACT ANYMORE. ALL HINGES HAVE BEEN CLEANED, BUT RETRACTABLE SPRING MECHANISM DOES NOT PULL SEATBELT BACK INTO CAR ANYMORE. IF PULLED, EVEN EXTREMELY HARD AND FAST, THE BELT DOES NOT LOCK, IT SIMPLY EXTENDS TO THE MAXIMUM LENGTH. THE SEATBELTS ARE COMPLETELY NON-FUNCTIONAL.

SEAT BELT IN 92 DODGE STEALTH DOES NOT RETRACT PROPERLY, LEAVING POSSIBILITY FOR INJURY.

NHTSA complaint #10183058 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR

NORMAL WEAR HAS CAUSED THE SEATBELT TO OFTEN NOT RETRACT ON ITS OWN RESULTING IN IMPROPER TENSION DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. IT MUST BE RETRACTED BY HAND AND OFTEN DOES NOT RETAIN SAID TENSION. THE SEATBELT SHOULD BE SNUG AT ALL TIMES DURING OPERATION, BUT ISN'T DO TO LACK OF RETRACTIVE "TENSION". THE BELT NOT BEING SNUG OR LOOSE COULD EASILY RESULT NOT ONLY IN LACK OF PROTECTION DURING A CRASH BUT INCREASED BODILY DAMAGE IN SUCH INSTANCES.

THE SEATS BELTS IN MY AUTOMOBILE DO NOT RETRACT. THIS CAUSES A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM DUE TO THE SLACK IN THE BELT. IF I WERE EVER IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT, THE SEAT BELTS WOULDN'T PROPERLY RESTRAIN MYSELF OR A PASSENGER. I HAVE TALKED WITH AT LEAST TWENTY OWNERS OF THE SAME AUTOMOBILE, AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLE. I URGE THE NHTSA TO PLEASE LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER.

MY DRIVERS AND PASSENGER FRONT SHOULDER SEAT BELTS FAIL TO RETRACT AND LOCK WHEN PUT ON. ABOUT 50 TO 75 % OF THE TIME I HAVE TO REPEATEDLY TUG ON THE SHOULDER STRAP OF MY SEAT BELT TO GET IT TO RETRACT AND LOCK IN PLACE.
