“Seat belts in 1991 dodge stealth rt/tt did not retract! There was easily enough slack in seat belt for me to hit my head on the steering wheel. Makes me feel very uneasy about driving my car. Also, the srs light is on. They may be related.”

NHTSA complaint #10196724, filed 2007-07, 80,000 miles

“On my 1991 dodge stealth r/t tt I have had numerous occasions of a slack in both of my seat belts. The seat belts do not retract properly at all. Most of the time the seat belts just hang loose and you have manually try and retract them (not easy). This is a huge problem with safety. If I was to get in a crash the seat belt would not be able to function properly. This is scary for my passengers and myself. It could cause death and needs attention. This is an on going problem. …”

NHTSA complaint #10169305, filed 2006-09, 158,000 miles

“I have a 91 Mitsubishi 3000GT sl. The seat belts in it have a problem locking up and not releasing. The seat belts in my car do not function properly sometimes. 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. In my opinion this should be included in a lifetime warranty. Safety was an issue when building cars of these types so they should always be as safe as possible. …”

NHTSA complaint #10162227, filed 2006-07, 155,000 miles

“I have previously entered a complaint concerning this, but no evidence has been seen proving effort being made toward this issue. Seat belts will not properly retract! Many 3000GT and stealth owners have this problem. This must be addressed immediately! When the belt is buckled usually only the lower half is tight enough to restrain passenger and driver. For the average height driver this means a sudden stop (or crash of course) will result in his or her head slamming into the top of the steering wheel or dashboard for passenger (yum, brains all over my car, cant wait). …”

“Seat belts in 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT vr4 do not retract!!! Widespread issue among 3000GT and gto owners! Please open investigation as this is highly dangerous since seat belts do nothing if they fail to cinch-up as designed.”
