It is also a major safety feature that could prevent serious injury or death. Additionally, the seatbelt mechanism is not accessible by any apparent means without causing damage to the interior of the vehicle.

Seat belt on both sides in front hangs up: the retractor won't work. I am scared to hell. Dealer said buy new one. I had a repair shop service it: same problem again. I had another plymouth dealer work with the belt and he got it to release, but problem reoccurred.

The drivers side seat belt would not pull out or retract from the mechanism. I took the van in for replacement and was charged $178 to replace the seatbelt assembly. I think this is wrong for me to pay for a safety related device. I have already paid the bill but want to know if it is possible to get a refund from chrysler?

In october 1997, the driver side seat belt jammed in the fully retracted position. I had it replaced and didn't think much about it. Then in july 1998, the exact same problem occurred with he belt for the right second bench seat position. I had this belt replaced, but this time I asked the dealer for the defective belt. I have it. Do you want it? I feel that one failure may have been bad luck, but two failures seems like there may be a problem with the components.

Seat belt was not retracting to original position. Seat belt remains stuck in the side panel, or extends half way.
