Car purchased new in 1995(may or June, too lazy to go to the car and look!) first the right rear seatbelt would not retract, so we put the baby in the middle or left rear. The car was taken in to have some minor flaws corrected as with most new cars(a "punch" list). The seatbelt was fixed under warranty. Shortly there after it did it again. As well as the left rear started doing the same thing. The right rear has never retracted since. I was able to free the left one occasionally(2 or 3) times then it permanently locked. We had to put the child's seat in the middle ; the best place for it.the dealer was contacted when the car went in for service and I was told I would have to buy new seatbelts and pay the labor to fix them. Screw that! we just travelled 3 to the car or rear riding adults had no seatbelts. Had another child in 1998. Bought a used Volvo!! end of story. Thanks! hoyo (pam's husband).

Both seat belts in my car are considered defective by my dealer. GM agreed to pay for the new seat belts after I argued for an hour with a representative on the phone and then went down to the dealership to argue with the service manager. To replace two seat belts in a 95 Geo prism the cost is upwards of $650. The customer service representative from GM actualy siad that I had broke them from "over-usage". I wonder why if it is a law that people wear a seat belt while opperating a car, why it is not a law that the car manufacturers guarantee their seat belts for the life of the car" my seat belts were replace for free in part because I am aggressive, mouthy, and I out-wit both the customer service rep and the service manager at hall Chevrolet. How many people have actualy paid to get their defective seat belts fixed"

Concerned for the loose seatbelts in the back of the vehicle which broke before warranty but was told it was not covered under the full warrenty. I was just checking to find out if there were recalls for the seat belts because they broke at the same time.
