problem #1

Dec 012003

Altima 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,100 miles
One of the rear seatbelts is defective - it will not click with any of the belts.assenger seatbelt 'ratchets' when pulled out all the way and will not allow the passenger to move forward without first unbuckling the seatbelt, letting it fully retract and then fastening it again. Quite often this has to be done while the car is in motion.
