Failure Date: 07/15/2001

The passenger front seat belt comes unlatched at various times and speeds. The vehicle was taken to jenkins Chrysler south, lavale MD on 8/24/2001 where the problem was observed and parts were ordered. I was then told there would be a $100. 00 deductible charge as the vehicle was now under the extended warranty. When I questioned this charge and said that I didn't feel there shoud be a charge because it was a safety item, I was told that Chrysler would not cover the out of warranty repair and I would have to pay. When I asked for the service manager and told them I was going to file a complaint with the ntsa only then did they say they would take care of it. I am filing this complaint to make you aware of the problem and the dealers response.
