In owners' own words
My driver's side seat belt--the cable came down from the track and now it's useless. I mentioned that to armory and they said it would cost me $850. To fix it. I was never notified of this in the mail or phone. I feel I shouldn't have to pay. If I'd have receive the recall notice back then, this may have never happended. Please let me know what to do next. Seat belts
The dealer removed the shoulder belt system and told the consumer that the proper part had to be ordered, several months passed and the part had not arrived, once the parts arrived the dealer informed the consumer that the motor assembly was broken and had to repaired at the owners expense ($1000) before seatbelt recall could be performed. Nlm Seat belts
Whenever closing driver's/passenger's door, seat belt would retract out, showing cord. Passenger's side cord not showing but fails to retract. Motor is going, nothing happens to shoulder belt. Took to dealer. Not fixed due to being out of warranty. *Ak the driver's side does not retract along with the passenger side. Seat belts
