“I purchased my 99 Mitsubishi 3000GT used and it's seat belt has rarely worked. I sold my 94 Mitsubishi 3000GT which has the same exact problem. While driving the belt always becomes slack and doesn't retract.”
NHTSA complaint #10163739, filed 2006-07, 86,000 miles“I have a 1999 mistubsihi 3000GT vr4 and the seat belt tension springs do not retract or lock-up like I beleive they should. My car has done this since purchased in 2003, and I've had an incedent where the lock should have engaged when hard breaking, but the belt did not. Also, when I exit the vehicle I need to feed the belt back into the slot because the spring is too weak to pull it in like every other car I've owned. Many other 3000GT owners have reported similar problems with belt springs failing in car clubs for the 3000GT. Please address this safety hazard with Mitsubishi.”
NHTSA complaint #10185731, filed 2007-03, 32,000 miles“Seat belts in my '99 Mitsubishi 3000GT fail to retract and tighten themselves automatically. This slack in my seat belts lead me to believe they wouldn't be effective in the case of an accident. I know many 3000GT owners which have the same issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10162753, filed 2006-07“I drive a 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT sl. The seat belts in this car do not retract correctly, they actually allow for too much slack and most of the time I have to manually draw the slack back into the mechanism. I feel this lack of function of my seat belts puts me and my passengers in danger...I complained about this issue from day 1 to my dealer and was told that there was nothing wrong with the seat belts and that they would eventually break in. Oh, they're broken in alright...busted is more like it. …”
