The automatic seat belt cable came of it's track. This resulted in the seat belt failing to retract. Also, the plastic coating over the cable came off. This occurred after the driver's side guide rail recall 97v073001 was performed. The dealership has been contacted. *jb

I have had left front driver side seatbelt retractor fail 3 times once in 1998,2000 &2003. The car has the automatic seatbelts so when you close the door the seatbelt is suppose to retract back behind the seat or along the door jam in each of my incidences I closed the door and the seat belt retractor cable comes out of the rail that runs along the top of the door jam and gets stuck half way to or not at all. It is a recall I believe and I had it replaced for the recall 2 times and now im going to a 3rd time. It is very frightening to me because it is a safety issue I cannot drive my car without a seatbelt it not only unsafe its against the law. I hope to shed some light on this issue and ask that it be looked at more closely.

Had recall work done prior to any failure in 1997/now the seat belt assembly has failed with repair cost of the part @ $650.00 and 2 hours labor @ $136.00-- it is felt that the repair @ time of recall was not reliable and current failure should be repaired without cost to car owner--think manufactor should still pay for repair.
