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.

Seat belt won't latch or retract by model year
What owners say
Seat belt malfunction. Seat belt does not retract properly even when fed. Seat belt often twists in the guider/holder causing it to get stuck making it unusable a majority of the time. This has been this way for 4 years.
Seat belt do not retract. Both driver and seat belt do not work.
In my 1992 dodge stealth, the drivers side seat belt does not properly retract, leaving extra slack, which is a safety issue in case there is an accident. After doing research, I have found that this is a very common problem, and there are many mitsubishi 3000gt/dodge stealth owners who have this problem (as shown here, a message board complaint on this issue: http://www.3si.org/forum/showthread.php?t=324508). I am asking for a proper safety recall of this part from mitsubishi/dodge. Thank you.
Seat belt failure.. Doesn't retract on either side...
The front driver and passenger seat belts will not tighten when the seat belt buckle is engaged into the seat belt holder and the ignition is placed in the on position. When driving if you were to loosen your shoulder harness it would not automatically resume the sense of oppression that was previously there. When releasing the seat belt it will not retract automatically into the retractor with the ignition on. When turning off the ignition and releasing the seat belt it will not retract into the retractor for thirty seconds as it was designed to do. I am one of many 3000gt owners with the same problem. I notified the closest mitsubishi dealer and talked with the service manager who stated that he was unaware of any problems of this nature with these cars. Please investigate this before someone gets killed.
Driving down the highway about 55mph leaned over to adjust radio and the seat belt retractor didn't retract. Both belts failed approximately the same time and continue to fail.
