Owner Complaints (2)
Both rear seat belts on your 1997 Elantra stopped working about 6-8 months after purchase — the belts won't pull out from the retractor, even though there was no accident or damage. The dealer told you repairs would be at your own expense, and the manufacturer deferred to the dealer's decision. The seat belts remain non-functional. Fixing this will likely require replacing the seat belt retractor assemblies or the entire seat belt mechanisms.
