Both front seat belts lock up and do not release. It does this intermittently but mostly does not work properly. When they do work they tighten & tighten to the point of almost being painful. Mechanics do not know why this should happen unless it is the seat belt control module which can only be done by a dealer. One word "expensive!" this is a safety & law issue and should be the responsibility of the manufacturer for faulty safety product and operation. After my research I see many of the same issues with the seat belts over and over. This is a repetitive problem.

Intermittently both front seat belts are locked into the seat belt retractor and can not be used. Took it to a mechanic that could not figure out how to fix it. The car is a convertible and should never be driven without proper restraints.

Seat belt safety lock sticking. The front seat belt on both sides have a retracting mechanism. It allows the seat belt to retract into the shoulder when not in use. It also locks in place to secure the passenger. Sometimes the seat belt gets stuck and won't release. This prevents the use of the seat belt. This is both unsafe and in some states, illegal.

I own a 1999 chrysler sebring convertible that all the seat belts lock in the retracted position for no apparent reason. This occurs randomly and lasts for a week or more at a time. I use the car very little because of this. The local dealer mike famous (now closed) said it would be about $700 to repair. I think this is unacceptable since this is of safety in nature. I consider seat belts a valuable protective device that should not fail like this ever. I don't have any chance of using seat belts when I want to use the car. If I go out to use the vehicle and the belts are locked I don't use it. Not to mention seat belt laws and the ticket I would get .
