Seat belt failed to retract when closing door. Appears that some sort of cable is jammed so that seat belt no longer works correctly. Opened and closed door several times to try and remedy issue but problem persists. Replaced seat belt fuse but that failed to resolve issue. Seat belt is now stuck in the "vehicle off" position at all times. *tr

Issue with seat belts in 1994 mazda protege lx. At times, front seat belts continue to tighten when foot is lifted from brake pedal after a sudden stop. It gets so tight that belt has to be unbuckled. It is a scary situation and not very safe. *nm

NoNoN NoneNone20040908

I have a 1994 mazda protege lx with the automatic seat belts. The seat belts fail to retract upon opening the door. On top of this being a very annoying development, it also creates an extreme safety hazard if i'm involved in an accident and am trying to exit the car. There is an emergency release, but if i were unable to reach it due to injury or otherwise, i could be trapped in the car. My car is just one of many of this manufacture and model that has this problem. The incident date below is the date that my belts began failing.*ak
