| Description of the problem | Seat belts fail to retract automatically. I would consider this a major flaw in the seat belt hardware. It started on the drivers side and then a year later the passenger side. Also causes you to sometimes close the door on the seat belt because it didn't retract and hung out the door. It broke the button on the seat belt fabric so now my seat belt has no stopper either. |
