Consumer Description

BOTH REAR SEAT BELTS FAIL TO RETRACT. THEREFORE, THEY REMAIN IN THE FULLY EXTENDED POSITIONS AT ALL TIMES. THIS FAILURE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE A GRADUAL ONE. AT ONE MOMENT THE SEAT BELTS WORKED AND THEN THEY DID NOT. I BELEIVE THERE IS A DESIGN AND OR MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY AND THAT THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE INJURY.
