Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Purchased a 1999 Chrysler Sebring convertible for my daughter. The front seat belts were knotted near the seat back rest. Without my knowledge, son and daughter un-knotted the seat belts which retracted all the way in. Both seat belts are now locked and cannot be retracted. Took to a mechanic and he was unable to repair it. Due to safety concerns, not comfortable allowing my daughter to drive the car. Through my research online this seem to be a common problem for this particular car and serious consideration need to be given to issuing a recall.”
