I have a 1997 chrystler seabring jxi convertible, that the seatbelst are generally useless. Both the passanger and driver seat belst lock and will not retrack, therefore you are not able to use them. This is a safety hazzard especially in a convertible. I live in a state where seatbelts are requires, but when they are locked I can not use them. I have not found where the seatbelts have been recalled, shouldn't there be a lifetime guarantee on seatbelts since they are a safety device? I have owned the car for 3 years now and it is an ongoing situation with the most recent being yesterday.
Seat belts would not "pull out". At first it only happened sporadically and for short duration. Problem occurred more often until belts have not worked at all for past 2-3 weeks.

Occasionally, the seatbelt on on my 1997 Chrysler Sebring locks up. When it does, it cannot be extended/pulled out. This has happened numerous times. When it happens, both seatbelts freeze, leading to the conclusion that it is an electrical problem. Sometimes, after waiting a half hour or so, the problem corrects itself. In the meantime, unless I have time to wait, I must drive without the safety of my seatbelt, which not only puts my life at risk, but makes me a lawbreaker and potentially liable for a ticket. I have called several chryler dealers, none of whom admits to having heard of the problem and all of whom want to run expensive tests to diagnose the problem. A quick google search shows that many many people have had the exact same problem. It is a potentially life-threatening situation, and we need the government to step in an help us please!.

The seat belts on drivers and passengers sides do not work properly. The strap will get stuck in the retractor, it will not move. Most of the time on the drivers side it hardly ever works. This started on August 24, 2004. Contacted the dealer they are going to charge to fix it. The consumer thinks that Chrysler should replace the seat belts free of charge.
Passenger's side seat belt will not release, it sticks, passenger is unable to put seat belt on. Contacted dealer.
When trying to put on seat belts the driver's and passenger's side belts will not come out of the seat belt mechanism. Please describe details.
