Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am one of the members of 3si.org which is a website covering the 3000gt/stealth models from 1991-1999. i have noticed that a largely shared majority of us have the same problem. the problem is that the seat belt does not retract into place when pulled out. the seat belt is therfore either loose on the driver and passanger which can lead to death/injury or when the person is exiting the car the person has to wind the belt back into the position so it doesnt fall out of the door. this is a serious safety issue and i think a must for recall. i was in a accident recently and the seat belt did not engage in time and i hit my head on the steering wheel and had to go to the er even though it was a slight fender bender. please issue an investigation on this belt. btw my car has only 65,000 miles and the seat belt wore out at 22,000 miles.
