#706868May 26, 1999
SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
SEAT BELT ON PASSENGER SIDE JAMS AND FAILS TO RETRACT OR EXTEND. THE ANGLE OF THE SEATBELT SYSTEM DOES NOT ENABLE THE OCCUPANT TO EASILY USE IT WITHOUT "COAXING" IT BACK IN. THE DEALER IS NOW REPLACING THE BELT FOR A SECOND TIME. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THREE OTHER NEW CORVETTE OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED TROUBLE WITH THE SEAT BELTS, ESPECIALLY ON THE PASSANGER SIDE. THEIR SOLUTION WAS NOT TO WEAR THE BELT, WHICH IS NOT A VALID OR LEGAL SOLUTION. THE DEALER INTAKE PEOPLE AGREE WITH US THAT THE BELTS ARE TOO SENSATIVE, BUT CAN ONLY REPLACE THE BELT. *AK
