Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Seat belt retractors for both left and right side inoperable, rendering seatbelt unusable. the plunger activated by the closing of front car doors has a cable attatched to release the belts. the cable for both front doors is broken. this causes the seat belts to remain locked, therefore driver and front passenger cannot use their restraints. i believe this to be a manufacturing or materials defect that should be repaired by the automaker or supplier.
