Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The front side passenger seat/shoulder belt system would not retract or release on my 1997 saturn 4-door sedan. i was told by the dealer that the retractor had "frozen" & i needed a whole new seat belt replacement. although there has been a recall of the '97 saturn seat belts for retractor doing the same thing in the 2 dr coupe model; i was told my model was not covered in the recall. the car has never been in a major accident and rarely does the passenger front seat have an occupant. the seat belt will be replaced as we need it to ensure safety of passengers as well as comply with the il state law. *jb
