THE SEATBELTS IN MY 3000GT VR4 FAIL TO RETRACT, AND ARE OFTEN LOOSE WHILE NOT DRIVING. WHEN I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE CAR IT DID IT EVERY NOW AND THEN, AND NOW, 2 YEARS LATER, ITS A CONSTANT PROBLEM. THE BELT WILL NOT SECURELY HOLD ME DOWN WHILE DRIVING, AND THEN WHEN LEAVING THE VEHICLE, THE BELT WILL NOT RETRACT AND OFTEN GET CLOSED IN THE DOOR. IM AWARE THAT IM NOT THE ONLY 3000GT/STEALTH SUFFERING FROM THIS ISSUE, I FEEL THAT A RECALL IS NECESSARY, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I OWN A DODGE STEALTH AND THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS DO NOT FUNCTIONS PROPERLY. THEY HAVEN'T WORKED SINCE I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE. WHEN YOU PULL THE BELT OUT TO STRAP IT IN IT DOES NOT RETRACT ON ITS OWN. THE BELT RARELY LOCKS WHEN BRAKING . I DON'T NOT FELL THE BELT WILL PROTECT ME IN AN ACCIDENT.*AK

BOTH SEAT BELTS IN THE DODGE STEALTH RT/TT (1992) DO NOT RECOIL PROPERLY, ACTUALLY THEY DON'T RECOIL AT ALL. I HAVE TO MANUALLY PULL THEM BACK, AND THEY DON'T STAY THAT WAY LONG. FROM WHAT I READ THERE WERE MANY OTHER 3000GT & STEALTH OWNERS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. THERE REALLY SHOULD BE A RECALL. *AK

BOTH OF THE FRONT SEAT BELTS HAVE SLOWLY LOST THEIR ABILITY TO RETRACT ON THEIR OWN UNTIL NOW THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT NO LONGER RETRACTS BY ITSELF AND THE DRIVER SEAT BELT RETRACTS SLOWLY AND VERY WEAKLY. *JB

THE SEAT BELTS IN MANY OF OUR CARS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS PULLED ON IT DOES NOT RETRACT, LEAVING ENOUGH SLACK IN THE BELT THAT IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR, IT WOULD NOT SERVE ITS PURPOSE AS A SAFETY RESTRAINT. DODGE STEALTH/3000 GT. *NM
