Front Seat Belt Retractor Problems of Buick Lesabre

Vehicle experienced a problem with the safety belt. The plastic that goes outside the belt to guide the belt when being used sharpened and tore the seat belt each time it was being used. This made the seat belt use very difficult. The seat belt often got stuck in position because of the groves that were worn into the belt during each use. Owner took the vehicle to the dealer, and was advised that the seat belt assembly would have to be replaced at the expense of the owner. Also, they told the owner that this experience was normal wear and tear.

I have an intermittent problem with my driver side seatbelt. The belt keeps getting caught in the floor retractor. When I try to pull the belt up to use, it gets stuck and has to be tugged on 5-6 times to get it to release. Orange Buick first looked at it on 4/25/02 and claimed, "belt out of place causing lock to engage r&r and reposition left front seat belt retractor. " that did not fix it and I brought it back again on 7/1/02. They said they would have to order a new belt and replace it. Supposedly, Buick realized that they had a problem and had redesigned their belts. The replacement belt was installed on 7/16/02, and worked okay for about 2 weeks, and has started the same problem all over again. Because it is an intermittent problem, they can't seem to reproduce the problem, but I keep getting caught with it. I'm very concerned that one of these times, the belt will not release after 5 or 6 tugs and then I will be forced to drive my car without the seatbelt engaged, which is both illegal and very dangerous.
