What owners say
Driver's seatbelt stopped working, stuck in track.
Seat belt restraints often do not retract upon opening of door,once it retracted so tightly on my son I had a very difficult time getting him out. Also the seat belt warning light goes off intermittantly even though we are properly belted. I do not trust these belts to keep us safe in an accident.
Ea94039, the driver's side seat belt is stuck in the retractor in the forward position. The problem has not been corrected.
The front driver and passenger side seat belt retractor locked up, consumer's daughter was in car and retractor locked up on her. Tt

Seat belts: front: webbing
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with front seat automatic shoulder belts. The rail of the automatic shoulder belt can wear sufficiently such that the cable which retracts the buckle assembly can become jammed in the rail rendering the shoulder belt inoperative.
- Risk
- A seat occupant may not be properly restrained in the event of a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the passive shoulder belt assembly with a modified one (with additional dust lip) in vehicles which have experienced a problem. In vehicles in which the automatic shoulder belt functions properly, the rails will be inspected and replaced with modified rails if they exceed the inspection criteria.
