NHTSA complaint #717815, filed 2000-01“Automatic seatbelt disengaged when a gust of wind hit my car driving down rt 84 in middletown, ny. It went in the position of being halfway deployed and stayed that way for approx 14 miles as I drove home. It did not become fully disengaged until I reached home and and exited the vehicle. Now when we enter the car it will only engage halfway and the cable is not sticking out of the runner for the belt. We have taken the car to a local chrysler dealer (port jervis automall), and they told us the original recall was for the motor of the seatbelt not a cable issue. …”
