CRACK IN FRONT CHASSIS CROSSMEMBER ABOVE RACK & PINION, MAKING VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL DURING BRAKING. ALSO EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NO RECALL. COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF CROSSMEMBER IS NECESSARY. WELDING OF THIS PART WOULD NOT BE SAFE. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED YET. *TR

SEAT BELTS
I HAVE PREVIOUSLY ENTERED A COMPLAINT CONCERNING THIS, BUT NO EVIDENCE HAS BEEN SEEN PROVING EFFORT BEING MADE TOWARD THIS ISSUE. SEAT BELTS WILL NOT PROPERLY RETRACT! MANY 3000GT AND STEALTH OWNERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS MUST BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY! WHEN THE BELT IS BUCKLED USUALLY ONLY THE LOWER HALF IS TIGHT ENOUGH TO RESTRAIN PASSENGER AND DRIVER. FOR THE AVERAGE HEIGHT DRIVER THIS MEANS A SUDDEN STOP (OR CRASH OF COURSE) WILL RESULT IN HIS OR HER HEAD SLAMMING INTO THE TOP OF THE STEERING WHEEL OR DASHBOARD FOR PASSENGER (YUM, BRAINS ALL OVER MY CAR, CANT WAIT). MANY 3000GT AND STEALTH OWNERS HAVE FILED THIS COMPLAINT NATIONWIDE AND WE WILL BE HEARD! THIS IS NOT OF COURSE A THREAT, BUT AN AFFIRMATION THAT WE WILL BE STAYING ON TOP OF THIS UNTIL IT IS PROPERLY HANDLED. MOST OF OUR BELTS OR NOT WORN, AND LOTS OF US HAVE FOUND (THOSE WHO HAVE CHECKED) THAT OUR BELT SPOOLS ARE IN FACT PROPERLY LUBRICATED BUT YET, STILL WE WOULD BE BETTER OF USING TWINE TO TIE OURSELVES TO THE SEATS. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION BECAUSE IF OUR BELTS DON'T WORK, THERE REALLY ISN'T ANY REASON FOR US TO EVEN HAVE THEM. CANT SAY FOR SURE HOW MANY FAILURES, JUST THINK THIS...EVERY TIME. THANK YOU *JB
