SEAT BELT IN MY 1994 MITSUBISHI 3000GT DO NOT FUNCTION. I HAD THEM CHECKED OUT AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT WAS NOTORIOUSLY COMMON ON THESE TO HAVE BAD NON-OPERATIONAL SEAT BELTS. IF IT IS NOTORIOUSLY COMMON WHY HAS MITSUBISHI NOT TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM? I AM JUST CONCERNED THAT THE BELTS I AM GETTING INSTALLED WILL DO THE SAME THING, THEY ARE OF THE SAME MANUFACTURER, SO SAYS THE DEALERSHIP. RIGHT NOW MY BELTS ARE ONLY USED FOR SHOW UNTIL THE NEW BELTS COME IN. LAW SAYS YOU NEED TO WEAR A SEATBELT, BUT MINE WILL NOT DO ITS JOB IF I DO GET IN A WRECK. *TR

FRONT SEAT BELTS DO NOT RETRACT AFTER THE SEAT IS RETURNED FROM THE FORWARD POSITION. ALSO, THEY DO NOT RETRACT IF TOO MUCH SLACK IS PULLED WHEN BUCKLING THE BELT. THE SLACK HAS TO BE FED BACK INTO THE TENSIONER TO MAKE THE SEATBELT FIT TIGHT IN ORDER TO BE EFFECTIVE DURING A CRASH. *AK
