Consumer Description

OCCASIONALLY, THE SEATBELT ON ON MY 1997 CHRYSLER SEBRING LOCKS UP. WHEN IT DOES, IT CANNOT BE EXTENDED/PULLED OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. WHEN IT HAPPENS, BOTH SEATBELTS FREEZE, LEADING TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. SOMETIMES, AFTER WAITING A HALF HOUR OR SO, THE PROBLEM CORRECTS ITSELF. IN THE MEANTIME, UNLESS I HAVE TIME TO WAIT, I MUST DRIVE WITHOUT THE SAFETY OF MY SEATBELT, WHICH NOT ONLY PUTS MY LIFE AT RISK, BUT MAKES ME A LAWBREAKER AND POTENTIALLY LIABLE FOR A TICKET. I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL CHRYLER DEALERS, NONE OF WHOM ADMITS TO HAVING HEARD OF THE PROBLEM AND ALL OF WHOM WANT TO RUN EXPENSIVE TESTS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THAT MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION, AND WE NEED THE GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN AN HELP US PLEASE! *TR
