Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This is the third time the front-passenger-side lap belt retractor (mounted at the bottom of the door post / body frame) has jammed over the last 3-4 years or so. see nissan dealers records for exact dates: falhaber nissan, inc. 8680 colerain ave. cincinnati (grosbeck), oh 45251 (513) 385-1400 (sales, service, body shop) it will not extend more than about 8 inches before the ratchet mechanism "catches" and prevents the belt from reaching over to the buckle by the center console. due to the frequency of failures, i wonder if i am simply getting recirculated used parts? the man in the parts department of my dealership says these are not stocked, has not noticed any "run" on this kind of item, old ones are destroyed, and they only install new ones. something not right. my driver's side and the middle and rear row seat retractors have never had a problem. my wife and others do nothing odd out of habit that i can tell as far as using that one belt. *jb
