SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR WORKS ONLY SOMETIMES AND WHEN IT FAILS THE BELT GETS CAUGHT IN THE DOOR. BELT IS NOW SHREDDED IN SOME PLACES MAKING IT UNSAFE. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET NUMOROUS TIMES ABOUT THIS AND JUST WANTED A REPLACEMENT TO BUY. THEY SAID THEY NO LONGER MADE THEM. FIRST TRY WAS 1997, THEN 1999, AND NOW 2001. THEY NEED TO KEEP SAFETY ITEMS IN STOCK. I HAVE A FRIEND THAT HAS A GMC JIMMY FULLSIZE 1987, SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THAT IS REASON I AM TRYING AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH THE GOVERMENT. THANK YOU. *AK
