In owners' words
What 3000gt owners report
Recent seat belts complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
SEAT BELT IN MY 1994 MITSUBISHI 3000GT DO NOT FUNCTION. I HAD THEM CHECKED OUT AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT WAS NOTORIOUSLY COMMON ON THESE TO HAVE BAD NON-OPERATIONAL SEAT BELTS. IF IT IS NOTORIOUSLY COMMON WHY HAS MITSUBISHI NOT TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM? I AM JUST CONCERNED THAT THE BELTS I AM…
THE SEATBELTS DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. WHEN THE SEATBELT IS PULLED ON IT DOES NOT RETRACT, LEAVING ENOUGH SLACK IN THE BELT THAT IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR, IT WOULD NOT SERVE ITS PURPOSE AS A SAFETY RESTRAINT. *TR
MY FRONT SEAT BELTS IN MY CAR NO LONGER RETRACT. THEY WON'T TIGHTEN UP AGAINST ME AND PROBABLY WOULDN'T HOLD ME TOO WELL IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR IS A 94 MITSUBISHI 3000GT VR-4. *JB
