Consumer contacted dealer in reference to the federal safety agency recall 98v306000 manufacturer's recall 97023/ seat belt anchor plate. Dealer stated no parts were available.
The seatbelt will not retract from the stowed position, or is very difficult to retract. The dealer said it is defective. Ihave purchased a new one, but have not had the dealer install it yet (just got it). The dealer says I am financially responsable. Is the manufacturer responsible for this replacement?
Both rear shoulder belts will not retract from retractors. Dealer notified, and informed consumer that nothing can or will be done due to vehicle out of its warranty.
Was trying to use passenger's side seat belt when it broke. It failed to lock or release. Sometimes would release, but not retract. Sometimes would latch plate, can be locked in buckle. Took vehicle to dealer & was informed by mechanic that locking mechanism broke due to wear & tear. Owner informed mechanic that passenger side seat belt is barely used to have wear & tear on mechanism.
I had submitted a complaint about a week ago but I typed in the wrong VIN#. I was a passenger in this vehicle when a van failed to yield & t-boned us. I was wearing my seatbelt but unfortunately it did not work & I hit the windshield. My airbag did deploy but I'm not sure if it even deployed properly. If one of them would of worked correctly I figure I would of not hit the windshield. I have multiple injuries such as lost a tooth, tmj, dislocated jaw, cervical facet syndrome, cervical radioculpathy, severe whiplash, daily severe headaches etc etc. But I never had any bruises from the seatbelt. My husband who was the driver did. My car was totaled. I'm am still going through pain & frustration. I feel this needs to be looked into. Thank you for your time.
