TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1991 MITSUBISHI 3000GT. UPON OPENING THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED FLUID LEAKING FROM THE TRANSFER CASE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 93V033000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT IT FAILED TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE BEARING WAS FAULTY. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 43,000.

TRANSFER CASE FAILED, DEALER OKED REPLACEMENT UNDER RECALL, A WEEK LATER THEY SAID THE PART THEY GOT WASN'T RIGHT AND THE TRANSMISSION OUTPUT SHAFT IS DAMAGED AND THEY CAN'T REPAIR. CONTACTED MITSUBISHI 4/6, BACK & FORTH VIA PHONE, ON 4/20 WAS TOLD "WAITING FOR A REPLY FROM LEGAL", WILL GET BACK TO ME IN COUPLE DAYS, NOTHING SINCE THEN. THE TC IS A RECALL AND THE TC FAILURE COMMONLY CAUSES OUTPUT SHAFT DAMAGE. THEY OKED THE RECALL, HAVE HAD THE CAR WEEKS, AND DONE NOTHING.

SEAT BELTS IN 1991 DODGE STEALTH RT/TT DID NOT RETRACT! THERE WAS EASILY ENOUGH SLACK IN SEAT BELT FOR ME TO HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL. MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNEASY ABOUT DRIVING MY CAR. ALSO, THE SRS LIGHT IS ON. THEY MAY BE RELATED. *AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1991 MITSUBISHI 3000 GT. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THE CONTACT'S VIN IS EXCLUDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE HAS A LEAK.

SEAT BELT DOES NOT FULLY RETRACT, LEAVING SLACK ON THE BELT. THE SLACK HAS TO BE MANUALLY REMOVED. THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IN A CRASH. *JB

I HAVE PREVIOUSLY ENTERED A COMPLAINT CONCERNING THIS, BUT NO EVIDENCE HAS BEEN SEEN PROVING EFFORT BEING MADE TOWARD THIS ISSUE. SEAT BELTS WILL NOT PROPERLY RETRACT! MANY 3000GT AND STEALTH OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS MUST BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY! WHEN THE BELT IS BUCKLED USUALLY ONLY THE LOWER HALF IS TIGHT ENOUGH TO RESTRAIN PASSENGER AND DRIVER. FOR THE AVERAGE HEIGHT DRIVER THIS MEANS A SUDDEN STOP (OR CRASH OF COURSE) WILL RESULT IN HIS OR HER HEAD SLAMMING INTO THE TOP OF THE STEERING WHEEL OR DASHBOARD FOR PASSENGER (YUM, BRAINS ALL OVER MY CAR, CANT WAIT). MANY 3000GT AND STEALTH OWNERS HAVE FILED THIS COMPLAINT NATIONWIDE AND WE WILL BE HEARD! THIS IS NOT OF COURSE A THREAT, BUT AN AFFIRMATION THAT WE WILL BE STAYING ON TOP OF THIS UNTIL IT IS PROPERLY HANDLED. MOST OF OUR BELTS OR NOT WORN, AND LOTS OF US HAVE FOUND (THOSE WHO HAVE CHECKED) THAT OUR BELT SPOOLS ARE IN FACT PROPERLY LUBRICATED BUT YET, STILL WE WOULD BE BETTER OF USING TWINE TO TIE OURSELVES TO THE SEATS. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION BECAUSE IF OUR BELTS DON'T WORK, THERE REALLY ISN'T ANY REASON FOR US TO EVEN HAVE THEM. CANT SAY FOR SURE HOW MANY FAILURES, JUST THINK THIS...EVERY TIME. THANK YOU *JB
