“The seat belt assembly has already been replaced under a recall. The problem is that it seems to engage but doesn't, and then pops loose later. I think it performs better now than original did before replacement, but maybe I am just more careful about testing it. In any case, it still repeatedly fails to latch properly.”

I retained an attorney after I checked with Nissan dealership & found out there were 2 recalls on this vehicle for the seatbelts. (listed in your report on 10/20/1998 as NHTSA action # ea95007). …”
