SEAT BELTS IN CAR DO NOT WORK PROPERLY (WILL NOT RETRACT/TENSION PROPERLY LEAVING EXCESSIVE SLACK). CAR IS 1992 BUT I HAVE OWNED FOR ONLY 1 YEAR. AS I HAVE COME TO UNDERSTAND, THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ALL MODELS OF THIS CAR FOR ALL YEARS PRODUCED. CAR IS 1992 DODGE STEALTH. *JB

MY DRIVERS AND PASSENGER FRONT SHOULDER SEAT BELTS FAIL TO RETRACT AND LOCK WHEN PUT ON. ABOUT 50 TO 75 % OF THE TIME I HAVE TO REPEATEDLY TUG ON THE SHOULDER STRAP OF MY SEAT BELT TO GET IT TO RETRACT AND LOCK IN PLACE. I BELIEVE THIS COULD PLACE MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS IN DANGER DURING AN ACCIDENT. *NM
