SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL, CHILD SEAT:TETHER: STRAP/WEBBING
NORMAL EVERYDAY USAGE OF SEAT BELTS. THE FRONT SEAT BELTS DO NOT WORK ANY MORE THEY PULL OUT BUT DO NOT RETRACT BACK. MITSUBISHI SAYS TO WIPE THE BELT DOWN WITH A DAMP CLOTH THEN DRY OFF TO REMOVE DIRT. THIS DOES NOT WORK NOW MY FRONT SEATBELTS DO NOT WORK AT ALL THEY STAY FULLY EXTENDED AND WILL NOT RETRACT TO PROVIDE ANY RESTRAINT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR ANY RESTRAINT AT ALL FOR THAT MATTER. (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=1996, MAKE=MITSUBISHI, MODEL=3000GT). *TR

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
SEAT BELTS DO NOT PROPERLY RETRACT. WHICH LEAVES THEM TOO LOOSE WHEN DRIVING. THIS COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IN AN ACCIDENT. WHEN THE SEATBELT IS PULLED ON IT DOES NOT RETRACT, LEAVING ENOUGH SLACK IN THE BELT THAT IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR, IT WOULD NOT SERVE ITS PURPOSE AS A SAFETY RESTRAINT. *TR

FRONT SEAT BELTS DO NOT RETRACT AFTER THE SEAT IS RETURNED FROM THE FORWARD POSITION. ALSO, THEY DO NOT RETRACT IF TOO MUCH SLACK IS PULLED WHEN BUCKLING THE BELT. THE SLACK HAS TO BE FED BACK INTO THE TENSIONER TO MAKE THE SEATBELT FIT TIGHT IN ORDER TO BE EFFECTIVE DURING A CRASH. *AK
