The seatbelt is failing as it does not retract back into its holder and I am uncertain as to how safe and effective it is. Note that I have not done anything to cause this damage to it, it is through use and time. Volkswagen Group should approve fixes to it without additional cost to the customer.
The contact owned a 2010 Volkswagen Gti. While driving approximately 45 mph, the front driver side tire blew out and forced the vehicle to veer to the left. As a result, the vehicle crashed into the retainer wall. The front driver side air bag deployed, but the seat belt failed to retract. A police report was not filed and no injuries were sustained. The vehicle was destroyed. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.
