SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
WE HAVE HAD FOUR DIFFERENT SHOULDER BELTS GO OUT ON THIS 93 APV. THE FIRST TWO WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. SINCE THEN TWO OTHER BELTS HAVE GONE OUT. THE ONLY REASON THE BACK TWO PROBABLY HAVEN'T GONE OUT IS THEY HAVEN'T BEEN USED THAT MUCH. TWO BELTS STILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT FOR 4 BELTS TO BREAK IN A FIVE YEAR OLD CAR. BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS ON THIS VAN.
