SEAT BELT DOES NOT RETRACT PROPERLY, LEAVING SLACK IN THE BELT THAT CAUSES IT TO NOT PROPERLY RESTRAIN THE DRIVER.

NHTSA complaint #10331805 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

SEAT BELTS

SEAT BELT IN MY 1994 MITSUBISHI 3000GT DO NOT FUNCTION. I HAD THEM CHECKED OUT AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT WAS NOTORIOUSLY COMMON ON THESE TO HAVE BAD NON-OPERATIONAL SEAT BELTS. IF IT IS NOTORIOUSLY COMMON WHY HAS MITSUBISHI NOT TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM? I AM JUST CONCERNED THAT THE BELTS I AM GETTING INSTALLED WILL DO THE SAME THING, THEY ARE OF THE SAME MANUFACTURER, SO SAYS THE DEALERSHIP. RIGHT NOW MY BELTS ARE ONLY USED FOR SHOW UNTIL THE NEW BELTS COME IN. LAW SAYS YOU NEED TO WEAR A SEATBELT, BUT MINE WILL NOT DO ITS JOB IF I DO GET IN A WRECK.

FRONT SEAT BELTS DO NOT RETRACT AFTER THE SEAT IS RETURNED FROM THE FORWARD POSITION. ALSO, THEY DO NOT RETRACT IF TOO MUCH SLACK IS PULLED WHEN BUCKLING THE BELT. THE SLACK HAS TO BE FED BACK INTO THE TENSIONER TO MAKE THE SEATBELT FIT TIGHT IN ORDER TO BE EFFECTIVE DURING A CRASH.

MY SEAT BELTS ON A MITSUBISHI 3000GT SL 1994 ARE NOT RETRACTING. AFTER READING A FORUM I HAVE DETERMINED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED ONCE, BUT MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, MITSUBISHI WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPLACING THIS DEFECTIVE PART.

(1) I PURCHASED A 1994 MITSUBISHI 3000GT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2005. I DON'T KNOW WHAT LEAD UP TO THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT, AS IT WAS NOT PROPERLY FUNCTIONING WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. (2) WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS PULLED ON IT DOES NOT RETRACT, LEAVING ENOUGH SLACK IN THE BELT THAT IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR, IT WOULD NOT SERVE ITS PURPOSE AS A SAFETY RESTRAINT. (3) I HAVE DONE NOTHING CURRENTLY TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. I DON'T KNOW IF THE PREVIOUS OWNERS DID ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE FAILURE.

I AM A PART OF AN INTERNATIONAL CLUB FOR CARS. I READ IN OUR FORUM THAT WE NEED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR SEAT BELTS NOT WORKING PROPERLY TO CREATE A RECALL FOR BEING UNSAFE. I OWN A 3000GT VR4 AND ALSO HAVE THE PROBLEM OF MY SEAT BELTS NOT RETRACTING PROPERLY AFTER BEING PUT ON. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THIS? PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I APPRECIATE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP.

94 3000GT N/A, SEAT BELTS DON'T RETRACT, OFTEN LOCK UP NOT ALLOWING THE PROPER FEATURE OF EXCESSIVE FORCE TO LOCK TO SEAT BELT AND KEEP YOU IN PLACE. SEAT BELT ALSO DOES NOT RETRACT AFTER UNCLIPPED LEAVING IT IN THE WAY AND OFTEN PREVENTING THE DOOR FROM BEING CLOSED TIGHTLY. THIS PROBLEM HAS GONE ON THROUGH MY OWNERSHIP OF THE CAR AS WELL AS THE PAST TWO OWNERS. I DON'T KNOW IF IT GOES BACK BEYOND THAT.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATBELTS WOULD NOT RETRACT. THIS OCCURRED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BUCKLE OR LEANING FORWARD. THE OCCUPANTS WERE ABLE TO USE THE SEATBELTS, HOWEVER THEY HAD TO BE SELF RETRACTED TO USE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT ALERTED AND NO INSPECTION HAS BEEN MADE.

NHTSA complaint #10156435 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

SEAT BELTS

1994 MISTUBISHI 3000GT VR-4 SEAT BELTS RETRACT VERY SLOWLY, SOMETIMES HAVE TO ASSIST THE RETRACTION. THIS AFFECTS BOTH FRONT SEAT BELT ALL THE TIME AND THE REAR BELTS OCCASIONALLY. THIS COULD LEAD TO LEAVING ENOUGH SLACK IN THE BELT THAT IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR, IT WOULD NOT SERVE ITS PURPOSE AS A SAFETY RESTRAINT. ANY FORWARD MOVEMENT MAKES THE SLACK WORSE, FORCING ME TO ASSIST IN RETRACTING THE BELT WHILE DRIVING, OBVIOUSLY A BIT DANGEROUS TO BE PLAYING WITH THE UPPER PILLER BEHIND ME AT SPEED.
