SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
MY SEAT BELTS IN MY 1995 MITSUBISHI 3000GT DO NOT RETRACT PROPERLY, AND STAY LOOSE WHEN DRIVING. THERE IS A LOT OF SLACK ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS WHEN IN USE AND IS A HAZARD TO MY PASSENGER AND MYSELF IF WE WERE EVER INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE ARE MANY MITSUBISHI 3000GTS AND DODGE STEALTHS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, NOT A WEAR-AND-TEAR ITEM, AND SHOULD BE RECALLED TO INSTITUTE SAFETY IN THESE VEHICLES.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SEAT BELTS IN MY MITSUBISHI 3000GT. WHEN THEY ARE PULLED FROM THE RESTING POSITION AND CLASPED, THE RETRACTING MECHANISMS DOES NOT RETRACT THE BELT TO TIGHTEN THE BELT. MY VEHICLE IS A 1992 MODEL BUT IT ONLY HAS 56*** MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT. I ALSO HAVE A 2ND 3000GT THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TOO. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET THE BELT TO TIGHTEN IS TO PHYSICALLY TUG ON THE BELT UNTIL THE MECHANISMS STARTS WORKING AGAIN. *JB

THE SEAT BELT IN MY 1994 MITSUBISHI 3000GT DOES NOT RETRACT, WHICH I KNOW IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE CAR. MITSUBISHI DOES NOT COVER THIS PROBLEM IN A RECALL. *JB

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR, EQUIPMENT
THE SEAT BELTS ON MY 1995 MITSUBISHI 3000GT WILL NOT RETRACT ON THEIR OWN. I HAVE TRIED CLEANING THEM BUT THAT DOESN'T HELP. MITSUBISHI DOES NOT COVER THIS ANYMORE BECAUSE THE TIME FRAME IS UP. MANY OTHER 3000GT'S OF ALL YEARS IN ALL CONDITIONS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE MITSUBISHI SHOULD BE FIXING, NOT ME. *JB

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
THIS IS THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE OF THIS INCIDENT (4/14/06). THE ISSUE INVOLVES THE SEAT BELT MECHANISMS ON MY 1993 MITSUBISHI 3000GT VR-4. THE SEAT BELTS WILL NOT RETRACT FULLY AND AT TIMES ARE SIMPLY INOPERABLE. THE REAL SAFETY ISSUE BECOMES APPARENT WHEN I AM BRAKING AND THE SEAT BELTS HAVE TOO MUCH SLACK AS A RESULT OF THE MECHANISM NOT PROVIDING ENOUGH TENSION TO SECURE THE BELTS. THIS FAILURE COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A SCENARIO WHERE I AM BRAKING FORCEFULLY, AND BY NOT BEING PROPERLY RESTRAINED, COME INTO CONTACT WITH MY STEERING WHEEL OR WINDSHIELD. BASED ON SIMILAR STORIES FROM OTHER OWNERS, I AM INCLINED TO SAY THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS AMONG ALL 3000GTS AND STEALTHS. *NM

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
I HAVE A 1995 MITSUBISHI 3000 VR4 THAT HAS SEAT BELTS THAT DO NOT WORK. THEY DO NOT FULLY RETRACT WHEN PULLED OUT. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 10 YEARS AND THEY HAVE NOT CONSISTENTLY WORKED SINCE JUST ABOUT DAY ONE. IT STARTED INFREQUENTLY AND NOW IT IS CONSTANT WHERE THE SEAT BELTS DO NOT RETRACT AND FIT SNUG AGAINST YOUR BODY WHEN DRIVING. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE. *JB

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELTS DO NOT PROPERLY RETRACT. I HAVE USED LEATHER CONDITIONER ON THE BELTS, WHICH WILL FOR A PERIOD OF AT LEAST HALF A YEAR FIX THE PROBLEM. BUT AFTER A WHILE THEY WILL GO BACK TO NOT RETRACTING. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT SO I DO NOT HAVE FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE IF THIS ISSUE DEFECTS THE SAFETY USE OF THE SEAT BELT. *JB

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
I OWN A 1995 MITSUBISHI 3000GT SPYDER VR4, AND I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SEAT BELTS FAILING TO RETRACT. THE SEAT BELT HAS TOO MUCH SLACK, AND DOES NOT RETRACT WHEN EITHER BUCKLED OR NOT BUCKLED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ATTENDED TO. OUR CARS ARE TOO OLD TO RECEIVE THE FACTORY WARRANTY, SO THERE IS A NEED FOR A RECALL SO THAT WE CAN RECEIVED NEW PARTS. IF FIXED THIS COULD SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE, IF UNATTENDED TO, THIS COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE SOMEONE, BUT NOT RESTRAINING THE OCCUPANTS IF A COLLISION OCCURS. *JB

I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT MY SEAL BELT DOESN'T WORK AS IT SHOULD ON MY 1994 3000GT SL. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR EVERY YEAR OF THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE TRYING TO BUT ON MY SEAT BELT BECAUSE IT WILL NOT RETRACT THE WAY IT SHOULD. CAN THE GOV. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS COMMON PROBLEM. THANKS. *JB

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. ONCE THE SEAT BELT IS PULLED ON AND EXTENDED IT WILL NOT RETRACT, THEREFORE HAVING NO RESTRAINT IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. THIS OCCURS EVERYTIME THE SEAT BELT IS USED. *JB
