Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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. *jb
