Component | SEAT BELTS |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Within the same month period of time both passenger and driver side seat belts are now completely failing to retract. Earlier this year they started retracting more slowly but now will not retract at all making the seat belts essentially useless. I've taken this vehicle to the local dealer who reports the retraction assembly needs to be replaced on both sides. The vehicle is going on 6 years old with limited use on the passenger side. The dealer quoted me $1200 to replace both sides. This is a very expensive repair to be doing every 5-6 years. Safety equipment should be more reliable and durable than 6 years. |
