| I own a 2004 hyundai elantra and when i tried to put on my seat belt on the drivers side which is shoulder and waist, the belt would not retract back and, thus, it does not fit securely around my shoulders and lap. i was told by the dealership that i would have to pay for the belt to be fixed for the seat belt warranty had expired. i disagreed with this since this is a safety feature. this is when i contacted you. *jb | |||
