The driver's side seat belt will not retract. It is extended all the way out. Therefore, it will not fit nor will it protect anyone from injury. I find this to be a seatbelt defect and a major safety hazard.

My 1999 Corvette seat belt retractor quit working 2 days ago. My wife was unable to fasten the seat belt after several tries. I removed both retractors to inspect and could find no visible damage. There car is in showroom condition. I did an internet search for info and found a recall campaign : NHTSA campaign I'd number 00V111000 Apr 6 2000. I called my Chevy dealer [xxx] and they said a recall had been done in 2000 for a plastic part to stop belt twisting and no further recall would be honored. But this is not the problem! the ratcheting mechanism is faulty. I need this fixed asap from the defective seat belt mechanism. This results in a vehicle I now cannot legally and safely drive. Please help. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Seat belt mechanism is jammed and unusable on drivers side. Passenger side belt was repaired previously, but I have no reason to think it will not fail again.
