Component | SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Front seat belts will not retract when disengaged. Retractor spring not strong enough to retract the belt through the b-pillar anchor point. Consequently, the belt was loose, not tight to shoulder, when in use, and was a safety issue. Further, since the belt did not retract when disengaged the belt occasionally got caught in the door which weakens the belt strength. Dealer not willing to fix, and denied a problem existed. Therefore, any replacement part will have the same weak spring issue, and will not correct the problem.*ak |
