What owners report

2013-03-22, Seat Belts
THE RAIL OF THE AUTOMATIC SHOULDER BELT WORE SUFFICIENTLY SUCH THAT THE CABLE WHICH RETRACTS THE BUCKLE ASSEMBLY BECAME JAMMED IN THE RAIL RENDERING THE SHOULDER BELT INOPERATIVE. WHEN I WENT TO GET OUT OF MY CAR THE BUCKLE ASSEMBLY STOPPED ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE CAR. IN THIS POSITION IT MAKES MY CAR TOTALLY UNSAFE AND ILLEGAL TO DRIVE. EITHER A RECALL SIMILAR TO 97V211000 SHOULD BE ISSUED FOR THE 1995 MODEL OR THAT RECALL SHOULD EXTEND TO COVER THE 1995 MODEL BY MAZDA. IT'S THE SAME ISSUE/PROBLEM AND MAZDA IS LIABLE AND RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING IT. *TR

PASSENGER'S SIDE RETRACTOR WAS JAMMED IN THE MIDDLE.CONSUMER HAD TO CUT CABLE TO GET BUCKLE TO RETRACT, THEN, DRIVERS SIDE RETRACTOR WAS MOVING VERY SLOW, SO CONSUMER DECIDED ONCE IT HAD RETRACTED TO TAKE FUSE OUT BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. CONSUMER HAS TO USE SEATBELT MANUALY, AND THESE ARE AUTOMATIC SEATBELTS. CONSUMER IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL 97V211000 ON THE 1994 MAZDA 323. *AK
