| The passenger side seat belt retractor is not working properly. took my truck to the dealer last summer to get repaired. i asked him if he could tighten the seat belt retraction tension and he told me that he could not without replacing the entire seat belt retractor. the service manager told me that a seat belt tensioner bolt had come loose causing the retractor to malfunction. tightening the bolt would not fix it. the cost of the part to fix it was approx. $250. since my truck is out of warranty, they were not going to fix it for free. the passenger's side seat belt in my truck gets used approx. 1/10 the amount of time the driver side does. i am having no problem with the driver's side. since my truck has very low mileage, this is obviously a manufacturing defect. this is a safety issue which can affect the operation of the seatbelt and the passenger side airbag. *tr | |||
