| Front Seat Belt Buckle Assembly problems |
I just bought a Mitsubishi Lancer, seat belt is way too short, it literally chokes me, is hard to buckle and unbuckle with my hands/ Mitsubishi dealer says seat belt has to be defective before they will replace. They will not add an extension on it. I have 2 choices -don't wear a seat belt and get tickets or die in a wreck, or wear it, have to keep seat pushed so far back to make seat belt buckle- but then can hardly reach pedals, and cant breathe or be comfortable wearing it because it cuts off my chest terribly. I am permanently disabled with any problems and not being able to wear my seat bealt scares me as a seat belt save my life in Jan 2005.
Seat belt assembly failed to release within 3 months of vehicle purchase. This could cause an individual to be trapped inside the vehicle.
