SEAT BELTS IN 1991 DODGE STEALTH RT/TT DID NOT RETRACT! THERE WAS EASILY ENOUGH SLACK IN SEAT BELT FOR ME TO HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL. MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNEASY ABOUT DRIVING MY CAR. ALSO, THE SRS LIGHT IS ON. THEY MAY BE RELATED. *AK

SEAT BELT DOES NOT FULLY RETRACT, LEAVING SLACK ON THE BELT. THE SLACK HAS TO BE MANUALLY REMOVED. THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IN A CRASH. *JB

I HAVE PREVIOUSLY ENTERED A COMPLAINT CONCERNING THIS, BUT NO EVIDENCE HAS BEEN SEEN PROVING EFFORT BEING MADE TOWARD THIS ISSUE. SEAT BELTS WILL NOT PROPERLY RETRACT! MANY 3000GT AND STEALTH OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS MUST BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY! WHEN THE BELT IS BUCKLED USUALLY ONLY THE LOWER HALF IS TIGHT ENOUGH TO RESTRAIN PASSENGER AND DRIVER. FOR THE AVERAGE HEIGHT DRIVER THIS MEANS A SUDDEN STOP (OR CRASH OF COURSE) WILL RESULT IN HIS OR HER HEAD SLAMMING INTO THE TOP OF THE STEERING WHEEL OR DASHBOARD FOR PASSENGER (YUM, BRAINS ALL OVER MY CAR, CANT WAIT). MANY 3000GT AND STEALTH OWNERS HAVE FILED THIS COMPLAINT NATIONWIDE AND WE WILL BE HEARD! THIS IS NOT OF COURSE A THREAT, BUT AN AFFIRMATION THAT WE WILL BE STAYING ON TOP OF THIS UNTIL IT IS PROPERLY HANDLED. MOST OF OUR BELTS OR NOT WORN, AND LOTS OF US HAVE FOUND (THOSE WHO HAVE CHECKED) THAT OUR BELT SPOOLS ARE IN FACT PROPERLY LUBRICATED BUT YET, STILL WE WOULD BE BETTER OF USING TWINE TO TIE OURSELVES TO T...
