What owners wrote

The driver sider seatbelt does not retract. For example, if I look over my shoulder to check divers in other lanes my seat belt will loosen and when I turn back around to face forward the belt does not automatically tighten. I worry this belt is defective and have never experienced this in another car. I routinely need to tighten my seatbelt while driving. I am concerned that if I were to get into an accident in this vehicle the seatbelt will not keep me safe.
