I am having a problems with the automatic motorized seat belt retractors on the front passenger side of the car. The belts do not retract fully and get stuck in the track. As a result we are unable to use the should restraint on the passenger side. I brought this to the dealers attention on a sevrice visit may 18th, and was told that chrysler contracts would not repair the defective seat belt system. It was explained that, while I purchased an extended 7 year 70,000 warranty, it would cost close to $500 to fix the passenger side automatic seat belts. In other words, chrysler will not cover the seat belts under any factory warranty. I am concerned that this is a serious safety issue, yet cannot afford to fork over $500 to fix the seat belt. I sincerely wish that safety items such as seat belts, could be covered for the life of a vehicle. I would welcome any help from the federal safety agency on this issue.
