Four problems related to front seat belt retractor have been reported for the 1996 GEO Prizm. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The drivers seatbealt completly unwound while buckled and will not retract. The front passenger seatbelt will not pull out easily. In order to get it buckled it must be tugged continuosly moving a quarter inch at a time.
Rear lap seat belt is inoperative, belt will not latch. Dealer notified. Feel free to provide any further information.
Both seatbelts were in use the drivers failed as well, by breaking free at the retractor.
The seat belts lock in the retracted position they are unable to be used. This usually starts with them sticking when you try to pull them down to buckle. I have two Geo Prizms a 1996 and a 1997 they both have had this problem for a long time.
