The driver'sand front passenger seatbelt will not releasei took my car to a Chrysler dealer to see how much it would be to fix them I was told over $600. 00 to fix them both I brought my car used and the extended coverage has expired I live in ill where seatbelt are mandatory I do not have the kind of money it takes to fix something that should be covered for the lifetime of the car genrally I don't complian about anything but what is it going to take for Chrysler to do something.

The driver's side seatbelt twisted on the spool and will not retract. Because the car is a convertible the seatbelt unit is located in the seat. There is no way to get at the seatbelt unit to unjam the spool. The seatbelt is unuseable. I called the dealership where I purchased the car and they told me they can't repair seatbelts they must be replaced and it will cost me $345. 00. The seat must be removed in order to get to the seatbelt unit. I live in NY, with a mandatory seat belt law. I can not afford $345. 00 at this time. I don't understand how a seatbelt design does not allow for the possibility that the belt will twist and jam upon retracting. I am having the same problem with the passenger side, however I have been fortunate enough that I have caught it before it jammed. Shouldn't a thing like a seatbelt have a warranty for the life of the car, especially in a convertible?.
