Consumer Description

BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE SEATBELT DO NOT RETACT DURING NORMAL USE. THE SEATBELTS WILL FOLD OVER AND BECOME JAMMED APPROXIMATELY 4-5 TIMES DURING THE WEEK. WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BECAUSE A SEATBELT DOES NOT RETRACT AND TIGHTEN UP DURING AN ACCIDENT.
