“Driver's seat belt had to be replaced on three separate occasions because retractor failed to retract. Parts were replaced once by dealer under warranty, and other parts were replaced by an independent repair shop with dealer parts. Would like NHTSA to look into this matter. Feel free to provide any further information on this matter.”
