SEAT BELTS
THIS SEATBELT HAS BEEN RECALLED IN 97, WHICH I HAD DONE. NOW OUT OF THE BLUE IT JUST STOPPED WORKING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ALSO THE MITSUBISHI HOTLINE AND THEY ARE BOTH SAYING THAT BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY REPLACED THAT MY CASE IS CLOSED AND THEY WON'T GIVE ME A NEW ONE. OTHER THAN THE SEATBELT NOT WORKING, THIS 8 YEAR OLD CAR RUNS FINE, I DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF IT JUST BECAUSE IT WILL COST MORE THAN HALF THE BOOK VALUE OF THE CAR TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE PART. CAN YOU HELP ME?*AK
