1 Front Seat Belt Anchorage problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2000

The seat belts twist and jam in the belt guides. I have been able to unjam them every time with some fiddling. However it is time consuming and sometimes it happens with the belt on and this makes it very difficult to drive with the belt locked in one position. The steering column lock failed to disengage and the steering wheel won't turn. I am in a Corvette club and this is a common problem with 1997, 1998, and early 1999's. Ref. In ea02-031.
