Upper seat belt extender system is failing to deliver the belt and may exhibit one of the following symptoms: A. Seat belt is slipping off/ not being captured by the extender hand B. The seat belt extender hand is broken C. The seat belt extender hand is making noises D. The seat belt extender housing is broken E. The seat belt extender motions are erratic or illogical. The belt extender has mechanically and/or electrically failed.
