SEAT BELTS
THE SEAT BELT SYSTEM IN MY 1996 MITSUBISHI 3000GT VR-4 DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE BELTS DO NOT RETURN TO THEIR RETRACTED STATE AFTER USE. MOREOVER, USING THE SEAT BELT IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF THE OVER-THE-SHOULDER LOOP THE BELT PASSES THRU CAUSES THE BELT TO BE "TIED UP".*JB

DURING DECEMBER I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT WHEN A VEHICLE CUT ME OFF ON THE HIGHWAY. I IMMEDIATELY PRESSED MY BRAKE PEDAL BUT MY SEAT BELT DID NOT WORK. LATER ON I REALIZED MY SEAT BELT DOESN'T RETRACT WHEN THE WEATHER IS HUMID. *NM

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
WHILE NOTHING SERIOUS HAS COME OF MY ISSUE YET, THE POTENTIAL IS THERE. MY 91 MITSUBISHI 3000GT (WITH 72,000 MILES) IS HAVING PROBLEMS RETRACTING IT'S SEAT BELT. I NOTICED IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN I WAS FORCED TO SUDDENLY STOP (DUE TO A CAT CROSSING THE ROAD) AND THE SEAT BELT DID NOT WANT TO LOCK AND RETRACT IN SATISFACTORY TIME. THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SLACK LEFT IN THE SEAT BELT THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE INJURY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I TALKED WITH MY LOCAL MITSUBISHI DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE TO CHANGE OUT THE MECHANISM THAT RETRACTS THE BELT, BUT THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. AS A SAFETY ISSUE I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A A RECALL AS I HAVE TALKED WITH MANY OTHER 3000GT OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB

THE SEAT BELT WOULD NOT RETRACT AFTER IT HAS BEEN PULLED. THE SEAT BELT THEN LEAVES FAR TOO MUCH SLACK. THIS COULD RESULT IN INJURY TO ALL WHO DRIVE A MITSUBISHI 3000GT OR DODGE STEALTH. *NM

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
I OWN A 1996 MITSUBISHI 3000GT THAT HAS HAD BOTH FRONT SEATBELTS FAIL TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. I HAVE REPLACED THESE BELT TWICE NOW AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO COME BACK AFTER A FEW MONTHS. I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS A RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELT DO NOT RETRACT AFTER BEING PULLED OUT. THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF SLACK WHEN IT IS BUCKLED, SO IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, IT WOULD NOT SERVE ITS PURPOSE. WHEN IT IS COLD, SEAT BELT DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL AFTER PULLING OUT. *NM

I OWN A 1993 MITSUBISHI 3000GT VR-4. MY SEAT BELTS DO NOT RETRACT ALL THE WAY AFTER I PUT THEM ON, LEAVING ENOUGH SLACK FOR ME TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS UNSAFE AND THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED. THANK YOU. *NM

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
MY SEAT BELTS ON A MITSUBISHI 3000GT SL 1994 ARE NOT RETRACTING. AFTER READING A FORUM I HAVE DETERMINED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED ONCE, BUT MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, MITSUBISHI WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPLACING THIS DEFECTIVE PART. *NM

SEAT BELTS
I AM ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF 3SI.ORG WHICH IS A WEBSITE COVERING THE 3000GT/STEALTH MODELS FROM 1991-1999. I HAVE NOTICED THAT A LARGELY SHARED MAJORITY OF US HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE SEAT BELT DOES NOT RETRACT INTO PLACE WHEN PULLED OUT. THE SEAT BELT IS THERFORE EITHER LOOSE ON THE DRIVER AND PASSANGER WHICH CAN LEAD TO DEATH/INJURY OR WHEN THE PERSON IS EXITING THE CAR THE PERSON HAS TO WIND THE BELT BACK INTO THE POSITION SO IT DOESNT FALL OUT OF THE DOOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I THINK A MUST FOR RECALL. I WAS IN A ACCIDENT RECENTLY AND THE SEAT BELT DID NOT ENGAGE IN TIME AND I HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND HAD TO GO TO THE ER EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A SLIGHT FENDER BENDER. PLEASE ISSUE AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS BELT. BTW MY CAR HAS ONLY 65,000 MILES AND THE SEAT BELT WORE OUT AT 22,000 MILES.

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS DO NOT RETRACT FULLY AND DO NOT LOCK IN PLACE. I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNSAFE IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. THE SEAT BELT IS ONLY FUNCTIONAL AS A WAIST HARNESS, BECAUSE THIS RENDERS THE SHOULDER HARNESS USELESS. *NM

SEAT BELTS:FRONT
(1) I PURCHASED A 1994 MITSUBISHI 3000GT IN SEPTEMBER OF 2005. I DON'T KNOW WHAT LEAD UP TO THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT, AS IT WAS NOT PROPERLY FUNCTIONING WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. (2) WHEN THE SEAT BELT 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. (3) I HAVE DONE NOTHING CURRENTLY TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. I DON'T KNOW IF THE PREVIOUS OWNERS DID ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. *JB
