I OWN A 1995 MITSUBISHI 3000GT SPYDER VR4, AND I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SEAT BELTS FAILING TO RETRACT. THE SEAT BELT HAS TOO MUCH SLACK, AND DOES NOT RETRACT WHEN EITHER BUCKLED OR NOT BUCKLED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ATTENDED TO. OUR CARS ARE TOO OLD TO RECEIVE THE FACTORY WARRANTY, SO THERE IS A NEED FOR A RECALL SO THAT WE CAN RECEIVED NEW PARTS. IF FIXED THIS COULD SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE, IF UNATTENDED TO, THIS COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE SOMEONE, BUT NOT RESTRAINING THE OCCUPANTS IF A COLLISION OCCURS. *JB
