Consumer Description

BOTH SEAT BELT RETRACTORS IN THE BACK SEAT (MIDDLE SEAT OF WAGON) ARE NOT FUNCTIONING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. $400 FOR AN OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED. THE SEAT BELTS STICK AND NEED TO BE SHOVED BACK INTO THE RETRACTOR SLOWLY TO GET ANY GIVE TO THEM. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS BUT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. FROM WHAT I'M READING, THE FRONT ONES ARE GOING TO GO TOO. PLUS THE WAY BACK SEAT. WE HAVE THREE CHILDREN. ALSO, ONE OF THE BELTS IS FRAYING.*AK
