1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT Complaints

WHEN I PURCHASED MY 1991 MITSUBISHI 3000GT VR-4 IN JUNE OF 2004. THE SEAT BELTS WOULD NOT RETRACT ON THEIR OWN AND WOULD HAVE TO BE FED BACK INTO THE REEL BY HAND. BOTH THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE DO NO RETRACT. I HAVE DISASSEMBLED THE ENTIRE UNIT AND ATTEMPTED TO FREE UP AND LUBRICATE IT, BUT THE MECHANISM WAS NOT REPAIRED. IT SEEMS THAT IT IS A FAILURE IN THE DESIGN OF THE SEATBELT AND A STRONGER SPRING IS NEEDED. THE SEAT BELT NOT RETRACTING POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK AS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THERE WOULD BE NO SHOULDER RESTRAINT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMOUNT 3000GT'S AND DODGE STEALTHS. ALMOST ALL CARS ARE AFFECTED. I BELIEVE THAT A DEALER RECALL SHOULD BE INSTALLED. *JB

COME TO FIND OUT THAT YOU CAN NOT GET PARTS, HOW CAN A COMPANY SELL SOEMTHING THAT YOU CAN'T GET PARTS FOR ALL YOU CAN DO IS BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION THAT HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS OR SALVAGE ONE THAT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. GETRAG AND MITSUBISHI SHOULD FIX THERE BLUNDER
