Driver and passenger seat belts don't retract correctly. When the seat belt doesn't retract, it leaves several inches of slack. In the event of an accident, this defect could cause serious injury or death. This defect is common in from 1991 to 1999 for the Mitsubishi 3000gt and Dodge stealth gt models which technically are the same vehicle with the same part numbers.

3 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2006

Support for a seat belt recall on the Mitsubishi 3000gt/Dodge stealth all years seat belts are not a wear and tear item. Sure they may start fraying a little over time but they should always retract on their own. Everytime I lean forward to turn on the radar detector, change the station on the radio, etc I have to manually pull the seat belt in. Its not safe at all. It is a manufacturers defect and needs to be fixed.
