This failure is related to the federal safety agency campaign id number: 97v073002. I took my vehicle to santa rosa dodge, who had originally repaired this problem when the recall was made in 1997. This time they refused to repair the problem unless I paid for it. Io contacted the manufaturer at the number provided on the recall notice and they stated that there was nothing that they could do for me (they go by what the dealer says). At this time I have to drive my vehicle with a defective seat belt because this dealer will not do anything about it.

On 3 occasions I have had the cable pop out of the track on the retrackable seat belt system in my colt. There was a recall of this item in 1997. I took the vehicle to our local dealer jim soutars chrysler, to have the recall done. Opon return of the car after the recall work ,it looked like all soutars had done was to grease the cable guide, and the cable guide was not changed to the double lip dust seal anodic oxide coated track .I looked at the track before it was taken in, and it was the same track! Now that the cable has popped out again soutars want to charge me 685.00 plus labor to fix the drivers side belt only. According to the federal safety agency campaign id number: 97v073002, we did not receivethe replacements only a grease job !!!. As a mother I am not only concerned for my safety, but also for my children. I find it inexcusable that me and my childrens lives are so meaningless to chrysler and there representatives!!!

Both side of the automatic seatbelts have broken again, the drivers side as I was driving down a major highway and a gust of wind hit the car and the seatbelt retracted. The passenger side broke a few days later, it was fixed on the original recall but it needs to be done again.

I have been having problems with the drivers side motorized seat belt in my 1993 plymouth colt. There are times when it will work and there are times when it will not even move back, leaving me the driver unprotected ina crash. I have been back and forth with both misubishi and plymouth, plymouth being the ones who are refusing to help me out here. From what I have read there is a recall for the guide rail on the motorized seat belt, but that is only for the 2 door model, and with mine being a 4 door, no one will help me out. The fact being that the 2 and 4 door modle use the exact same frame, so there is absolutly no difference whatsoever......so I there anything that could be done.I am not interested in getting injured in anaccident because I have a faulty seat belt, and because my car does not fit the recall for the 2 door because it is a 4 door, that is not right.
