20000427SEAT BELTS
RECENTLY THE ANCHOR CLIP ON THE SEAT BELT NO LONGER HOLDS THE BELT . DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY NO LONGER MAKE A REPLACEMENT. HOW CAN MANUFACTURURES GET AWAY WITH NOT MAKING VITAL SAFETY EQUIPEMENT ? NAPA AUTO PARTS STORES DO NOT CARRY ANY AFTER MARKET BELT ASSEMBLY THAT CAN REPLACE IT. THERE ARE NO SALVAGE YARDS IN MY AREA THAT HAVE THE BELTS, BESIDES I DO NOT FEEL SAFE USING A USED BELT. ALL MANUFACTURES SHOULD MAKE VITAL COMPONENTS ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VAN IS NOT EVEN TEN YEARS OLD. THE BELT PROMPTED MY REPORT, BUT THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM HAS NOT WORKED FOR THREE YEARS NOW. I HAVE HAD MACHANICS LOOK AT IT BUT TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE LOCKED TIRES IN BRAKING THREE TIMES SINCE THEN, TWICE IN THE RAIN. THE SEAT BELT REALLY CONCERNS ME. *AK
