It is impossible to open my hood now since it broke from the floor and the seat belt does not retract back in to its compartment. It is dangerous since the belt just hangs there without proper functioning retractor.

Driver and passenger seat belts do not properly release from retracting mechanism, causing seat belts to become inoperable. Dealer replaced retractor. Please give any further details.
We contacted the dealership to see if they could repair at no cost they said no warranty is on the vehical after 3years or 36,000 miles and we feel that the seatbelt is a saftey feature and it not going back in after unbuckling is a saftey issue and that is not something that we can control and it is not normal wear and tear.

Left driver's side seat belt retractor is extended all the way out, and will not retract. Consumer feels this is unsafe when driving vehicle. Seat belt assembly and retractors replaced at owner's expense. *ak
