I OWN A 94 DODGE STEALTH R/T. HAS ABOUT A LITTLE OVER 77K MILES ON IT AND EVER SINCE I GOT IT, WHEN IT ONLY HAD 25K MILES ON IT, THE SEAT BELT HAS NEVER REALLY RETRACTED PROPERLY AND ALWAYS HAS SLACK IN IT IF PULLED ON. I HAVE TO WORK THE SEAT BELT THROUGH THE SLOT IT IS SUPPOSED TO RETRACT IN, IN ORDER FOR IT TO COME BACK TO WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE. *NM

ALL FOUR SEAT BELTS IN MY 1994 DODGE STEALTH DO NOT RETRACT PROPERLY. I WOULD SAY THAT OVER 90% OF THE TIME THE SEAT BELT DOES NOT RETACT AT ALL. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN OF MINE! *JB

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
