My 97 did the same, it was just dirty in the seal belt wind up mechanism.
Had a slowly retracting drivers seatbelt but solved it with the famous magic WD40 just pull belt all way out,spray both sides rubbing with a clean cloth while releasing and pulling out at the same time sort of thing.. you know how I mean. Usually its just accumulated dust so try this for any seatbelt problems first may save you a bundle....
Please check if your seat belt has "Retractors" or "Automatic Retractor".
Follow these steps to determine if you have a retractor system that will hold car seat securely or your seat belt won't retract as should be:
A. Pull belt all the way out.
b. Allow belt to retract about 6 inches (15 cm).
c. Pull out on belt again.
If belt is locked and you cannot pull the belt out any further, you have an Automatic Locking;
If you pull the belt again all the way out and won't return to normal operation, then the mechanism is damaged, but try first the "retractor" lock to be sure. By Federal Law, nobody will sale a seat belt in a junk yard, try the dealer or order thru the dealer the whole seat belt or the mechanism. I hope that is just a matter of the automatic retractor; you can see this information in your car's manual. Try and we will see.
