Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I drive a 1999 mitsubishi 3000gt sl. the seat belts in this car do not retract correctly, they actually allow for too much slack and most of the time i have to manually draw the slack back into the mechanism. i feel this lack of function of my seat belts puts me and my passengers in danger...i complained about this issue from day 1 to my dealer and was told that there was nothing wrong with the seat belts and that they would eventually break in. oh, they're broken in alright...busted is more like it. no parts have been replaced or repaired as of yet and i would really like for this problem to be addressed. i have tired of messing with my seat belt, and since i am going to be getting married i fear for my fiancee. she actually likes the car quite a bit, but she doesn't wear the seat belt because she says it is irrelevant to do so since they do not function correctly. i plan on having a family in the near future and this is the reason why i am now complaining about this issue. i will be getting married this december of 06 and hope to have this solved by then. thank you, robert capetillo. *jb
