Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We contacted the dealership to see if they could repair at no cost they said no warranty is on the vehical after 3years or 36,000 miles and we feel that the seatbelt is a saftey feature and it not going back in after unbuckling is a saftey issue and that is not something that we can control and it is not normal wear and tear.”

I have to tie the seat belt into a not to hold the extra part of the belt in place for it to be safe to wear. It has given me problems since I bought it in aug 2000 along with the calpers which I replaced.
