IN OCTOBER 1997, THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT JAMMED IN THE FULLY RETRACTED POSITION. I HAD IT REPLACED AND DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT. THEN IN JULY 1998, THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH HE BELT FOR THE RIGHT SECOND BENCH SEAT POSITION. I HAD THIS BELT REPLACED, BUT THIS TIME I ASKED THE DEALER FOR THE DEFECTIVE BELT. I HAVE IT. DO YOU WANT IT? I FEEL THAT ONE FAILURE MAY HAVE BEEN BAD LUCK, BUT TWO FAILURES SEEMS LIKE THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPONENTS.
