I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 1993 EAGLE SUMIT, PURCHASED IN DOVER DE. WITHIN IN THE FIRS TWO YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE SEAT BELT HARNESS WAS RECALLED BY THE MANUFACURE. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL. OVER THE YEARS THE SEAT BELT HARNESS HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY, OFTEN STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT OR HAVIGN A SLIPPING ACTION WHILE IN THE BELT WHEN STOPPING. THE SEAT BELT HARNESS RECENTLY STOPPED WORKING COMPLETLY.TTHE SEAT BELT HARNESS WAS CONSIDERED TO BE A SAFETY PROBEM NOTED AT MY RECENT RE-INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TO INQUIRE ABOUT REPAIRS/REPLACEMENT OF THE RECALLED SEATBELT HARNESS. AND AND ANY WARRANTY/GUARNTEE OF THE CURRENT RECALLED SEAT BELT.THE DEALERSHIP'S CURREN MANAGER STATED THAT CHRYLSER DOES NOT REINBURSE FOR RECALL PARTS IN VEHICLES THIS OLD. THE CURRENT COST TO REPLACE THE SEAT BELT HARNES IS OVER $600.00 DOLLARS PLUS LABOR AS QUOATED BY HERTICH/ JEEP & EAGLE DEALER IN DOVER, DE. I WAS ALSO GIVEN A RUN AROUND BY THE STORE'S GENERAL MANAGER REGARDING HIS KNOWLEDGE OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WARRANTY'S FOR PARTS & REPARIS VERSES WARRANTY/GUARANTEE ON RECALL PARTS BY MANUFACURES? AT THE PRESENT TIME, I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE CAR NOT PASSING INSPECTION DUE TO THE SEAT BELT HARNESS PROBLEM AND THE HIGH COST OF THE REPLACEMENT PART. THE LAP BELT THAT IS IN THE VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE OK (NOT SURE) HOW THE TWO OF THESE WORK TOGETHER IN THIS VEHICLE . AT THIS POINT I AM UNABLE TO GET ANY ANSWERS REGARDING CHRYSLER'S RESPONSIBLITY REGARDING THIS RECALLED SEATBELT AND ANY REAL DANGERS THAT MAY STILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SEAT BELT HARNESS. TO PAY OVER $600.00 DOLLARS FOR A RECALLED MANUFATURES DEFECT PART SEEMS UNFAIR. IF THE PART COST THIS MUCH FOR REPLACEMENT, THEN IT MUST HAVE SOME LIABILITY AND NOTED SAFETY ISSUE ATTACHED TO THE PART ITSELF. SHOULDN'T THE LIABILITY OF THE REPLACEMENT PART BE THE MANUFACTURER OR THE OWNER? *AK

MY DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT--THE CABLE CAME DOWN FROM THE TRACK AND NOW IT'S USELESS. I MENTIONED THAT TO ARMORY AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ME $850. TO FIX IT.
