1999 Saturn SL Seat belts Problems

“I own a 1999 sl1 Saturn. On wednesday 06/07/06, when I was taking my 23 month old daughter out of her car seat, I noticed that the car seat was loose. Upon further inspection, I found the buckle that holds the seat belt (the one that comes up from underneath the seat) had come un-stitched. When I pulled on the buckle it came out in my hand.

It's a poor design, and my 1996 & 1997 saturns did not have this problem. …”

“Cosco model 02-452 wal, manufacturing date unknown. When the booster seat was installed using the vehicle seat belts, the seat belt did not retract. The belt was stuck. The cause was unknown.
