Six problems related to seat belt have been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet Corvette. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The driver's side seat belt will not retract. It is extended all the way out. Therefore, it will not fit nor will it protect anyone from injury. I find this to be a seatbelt defect and a major safety hazard.
My 1999 Corvette seat belt retractor quit working 2 days ago . My wife was unable to fasten the seat belt after several trys. I removed both retractors to inspect and could find no visible damage. There car is in showroom condition. I did an internet search for info and found a recall campaign : NHTSA campaign I'd number 00v111000 Apr 6 2000. I called my chevy dealer fox neghanee and they said a recall had been done in 2000 for a plastic part to stop belt twisting and no further recall would be honored. But this is not the problem! the ratcheting mechanism is faulty. I need this fixed ASAP from the defective seat belt mechanism. This results in a vehicle I now cannot legally and safely drive. Please help. John shillinger.
