“There was a recall on the seat belts for my 1993 Dodge COLT in 1997. I had them fixed according to the recall, but they failed again a couple of years ago. Same problem. There is an automatic seat belt slide for the shoulder harness on both front seats and it does not work. This is incredibly dangerous and unacceptable. I am afraid to use my car, afraid we'll die in a crash. Please get the manufacturer to recall this again or at least allow me another fix so that we can be safe. Tia.”

The dealership told the consumer that the cable cord was not part of the recall and the consumer would have to pay for any seat belt repairs not mentioned in the recall.

I was never sent a recall and I find a recall listed in here for my specific problem. I contacted both my dealer and chrysler to get this repaired free of charge which I was not. I was told there was nothing that they could do about it.”
NHTSA complaint #704372, filed 1999-03“The first 2 recalls were performed by blackwell Dodge. Since this time, my seatbelts have malfunctioned on more than one occasion and are now non-working. With repeated calls to Dodge, no help or solution has been obtained. The only response I have received through customer service and the customer service department at Dodge is that is not their fault and they replaced the parts required of them by the recall. They claim the problem is with a sender unit and/or a sensor problem on the automatic shoulder belt system. …”
