The seat belts do not retract properly, causing a loose seat belt. The vehicle has 10,000 miles on it. This is a common problem with all 2017 to 2020 Fiat Spiders. Replacement seat belt retractors have the same problem.

The driver side seat belt has stopped retracting, stopped working. After researching different Fiat 124 Spider forums, It seems to be a very common issue on this car. I have an appointment with my service center next week. But it's scary to not have a seat belt that works.

The seat belt retractors are failing at an alarming rate according to Fiat forums (and my personal experience). Mine failed 4 months after purchase. I took the car to the dealer on October 15th and they said it would be a couple weeks to get the part. However, as of mid-December, the earliest the Fiat dealer said they will ship from italy in February. This poses a severe safety issue as the seatbelt will not restrain a passenger from a sudden stop. Further, it shows the disinterest of Fiat as the 124 spider was made on the Mazda miata assembly line and the parts are interchangeable. The Mazda parts are readily available, but the Fiat dealers are refusing to purchase them to protect their customers.
