In july of 2000 the automatic seat belt on the driver side became stuck on the track and would not move and thus the seat belt would not automatically come back and cover the shoulder. it just makes a lot of noise when the car door IS opened and closed. the one on the passenger side does automatically come across the shoulder when the door shuts but does make the same noise as the one on the driver that does not move on the track.
