Seat belts in the front to not retract fully most times. This causes the seat belt to get caught between the door and the latch, thus visibly weakening the seat belt. Concern is that this weakened seat belt will not be as effective in preventing my gorgeous body from flying through the windshield.

The problem is with both driver's and front passenger's seat belts. They do not retract properly and therefore become caught in the door latch. This has caused multiple nicks and abrasions in the belt. I had spoken to the dealer about this and they replaced one of the belts while the vehicle was under warrantee. My concern is that the belt will fail in an accident. I have not followed up with the manufacturer or dealer since. I would like you to investigate and, if this is a real danger, encourage the manufacturer to correct. Thank you.
