Hi wanted to no if anyone is having similar problems everytime I take my seat belt offs it never goes back into the compartment and just hangs by my door before eventually very slowly going back it's annoying as everytime I open my door it falls onto the the door and is scratching up the side ???

Probably twisted. pull it all the way out to check.

 

[Mito23]

Do you no how to take the plastic off so I can see what's wrong with it inside ?

 

[Nev]

If you can't fix it by pulling the belt out I'd let the dealer sort it.

I'm so sick of having to go back to dealer for things these alfas are so unreliable always some problem !

Aren't you exaggerating a bit mate? I wouldn't think a slowly-retracting seatbelt is a major problem!

Errr..... have you tried pulling the belt all the way out yet?

It may be a minor problem but not when you hav so many of them

I actually agree with the OP on this. Ive been back to the dealer once for a minor problem which they looked at whilst i sat in the showroom doing nothing for an hour and 45 minutes (they said it would be 30 minutes) Since then i've had 5/6 small problems, i've waited and im getting them all sorted at once (i hope) on the 16th. if i'd been back everytime i'd got an issue i would be majorly pissed right now.

If it was possible i'd take it back and get something else. The alfa experience has so far not been a very enjoyable one.

its a shame that you are not enjoying the experience. Some of the problems do sound a little trivial but they all detract from the experience dont they (my only gripe is a rattling from the glove box, i know it will be very easy to sort and wont cost but still its a pain in the harris!).

Hope things get better for you!

Ours has been in twice for the glovebox... it still rattles

I padded it out with sticky backed foam to absorb the vibration which seems to have helped, now just need to stop the driver's door from doing the same.:rant:

I have had opposite problem -my seat belt wouldn't develop. The problem is in some ball inside mechanism that sticks or something. Sometimes it can be repair by shaking the mechanism or tilting the car. But I preferred exchanging for new one. Seatbelt are not made by Fiat itself-it is subcontracted. In most minor issues it is due to subcontractors that often work for other brands. Seems the other brands are better in their demands.
