  The rail of the automatic shoulder belt wore sufficiently such that the cable which retracts the buckle assembly became jammed in the rail rendering the shoulder belt inoperative. When I went to get out of my car the buckle assembly stopped about 3/4 of the way towards the front of the car. In this position it makes my car totally unsafe and illegal to drive. Either a recall similar to 97v211000 should be issued for the 1995 model or that recall should extend to cover the 1995 model by mazda. It's the same issue/problem and mazda IS liable and responsible for fixing it. *tr
