My drivers side seat belt malfunctioned that it would not retract and was loose and I could not even buckle up my seatbelt. I had the vehicle in for service on a recall and I had the dealer look at the seatbelt to fix it. The dealer advised me that it needed parts and with parts and labor it would cost me $300 dollars to fix it. I contacted dodge and they said that they could not do anything about it since it was out of warranty. My feelings are that this is a safety issue and it is a state law to wear seatbelts. I did feel that I had to pay $300 to fix the problem, they would not even meet me half way $150. Maybe you can help resolve this problem, I was never in a accident. And since you are the federal traffic safety organization you might have some input in this matter. Thanking you in advance. Ronald lula.
