Problems with 2001 Nissan Frontier SEAT BELTS

Transmission burning fluid smell, when driving at normal speed seat belts don't recoil seats too low

Tl*the contact owns a 2001 nissan frontier. the contact stated that the seat belt on the driver side locked up and would no longer retract. the vehicle had not been inspected or repaired. the current and failure mileages were approximately 138,000.

The passenger seat belt is locked in the stoded position and can not be used. this was not detected as i usually drive alone and the drivers belts work fine.

While traveling about 55mph on highway, driver's side seat belt will not retract, and airbag light will appear on dashbord, dealership is aware of problem.*ak consumer mentions that a crash occurred where the vehicle was totalled and there was an injury, however does not give any specific details of this accident. *tt

Catch for front drivers seatbelt failed. catch cracked and would not lock.*ak

Felt as though seatbelt was just behaving "different." looked at seatbelt anchor and found driver's side bolt was nearly completely unscrewed. took it immediately to dealer where it was found that both driver and passenger side anchor bolts were stripped! holes were re-bored and new bolts put in. this defect occured with no unusual strain on the belts. failure was just 2 months after purchasing new.*ak

Clip on seat belt that keeps seat from retracting down in holder fell off. consumer is using a safety pin in place of the button clip. dealer has been tyring to order the seat belt from april to august. dealer has no idea when seat belt will be off back order. by law whole seat belt has to be ordered. dealer is unable to use any replacement pieces and part when it comes to a safety item. please the vin# and mileage to form.*ak

The front passenger seatbelt could not be pulled out for usage. it has been almost a month since notifying nissan and nissan has yet to contact me to state the arrival of the part--- nissan has mentioned that this part is on "back-order because there are 'many' other nissan vehicles out there that are requesting for the same defective part." nissan further stated that ordering the part "make take months." nissan is, therefore, aware of this seatbelt defect but has refused to offer their consumers a rental for their safety while they(nissan) 'locate' a replacement for the defective seatbelt. for the public's safety, please notify the public regarding this defect in the seatbelt and contact nissan to ask them to expedite the process of obtaining the part. thank you for your time and kind consideration. *ak
