Description of the problem	1997 toyota t-100, seat belts fail to perform properly since originally purchased in 1997. Seat belts fail to retract and are constantly hanging outside the truck through the bottom of the truck door whether in use or not. Seat belts have been wet hundreds of times, have been exposed to road salt for every winter since 1997. Since the problem was discovered in 1997 soon after the truck was purchased it was brought to the attention of the dealership several times who quickly dismissed the problem by informing me "what do you want us to do, these belts conform to all federal requirements... There is nothing we can do... Even if we were to install new belts they would be just like what is on the vehicle now". I guess the question i have is, are these seat belts as safe today as they should be? If the answer is no, then my next question is, why not?
