1993 PLYMOUTH COLT Complaints

MOTOR IN DRIVER'S AUTOMATIC SEAT BELT HAS WORN OUT WITHIN 40,000 MILES, CAUSING A LOSS OF PROTECTION. *AK

AUTOMATIC SEAT BELTS ON THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDES BIND WHEN RETRACTING. THE RETRACTING MECHANISM DOES NOT RELEASE THE BELT. THIS HAS CAUSED FRAYING OF THE BELT ON DRIVER'S SIDE. DEALER IS NOT AWARE OF THIS SITUATION. *AK

PASSENGER SIDE MOTORIZED BELT ASSEMBLY DOES NOT FUNCTION. SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM FOR WHICH NHTSA ORDERED RECALL FOR DRIVER'S SIDE. *AK

SEAT BELT NOT REPAIRED UNDER RECALL AFTER 4 REPAIR ATTEMPTS, THREE TIMES DUE TO A LACK OF PARTS. (97V-073)

THERE WAS A RECALL LISTED ON THIS VEHICLE. THE OWNER TOOK IT IN 2 YEARS AGO TO HAVE IT FIXED, BUT DEALER DID NOT FIX THE VEHICLE CORRECTLY. THE SEAT BELT STILL JAMS, AND WILL NOT MOVE SO THAT THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AND DRIVER COULD PULL THE SEAT BELT AROUND ON THEM. THIS AFFECTS BOTH SEAT BELTS IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. *AK

DRIVERS SIDE AUTOMATIC SHOULDER BELT LOCKS IN THE RESTRAINED POSITION AND TIGHTENS, PINNING THE DRIVER TO THE SEAT. DEALER STATED IT WAS A MOTOR AND GUIDE TRACK PROBLEM AND WAS COVERED UNDER A RECALL 97V073000, BUT OWNER WAS NEVER NOTIFIED.

TOOK VEHICLE TO HAVE RECALL REPAIRS DONE ON AUTOMATIC SHOULDER BELTS. BUT PROBLEM HASN'T BEEN CORRECTED, AND DEALER WANTS OWNER TO PAY FOR BROKEN SIDE GUIDE RAIL. (97V-073).

DRIVER WENT TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND THE SEAT BELT CAME OUT ONLY I/2 INCHES. THE SEAT BELT SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE BAD THAT QUICKLY. DRIVER DISCONNECTED THE FUSE JUST AS THE THE MANUAL SAID TO DO WHEN THE SEAT BELT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS JAMMING. THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THE SEAT BELT IS STILL JAMMING. *AK

RECALL PERFORMED ON MOTOR BELTS, HOWEVER DID NOT RECTIFY FAILURE, ADDITIONAL REPAIRS OF THE TRACK ASSEMBLY REQUIRED.

DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR GUIDE RAIL MALFUNCTIONED. ALSO THERE IS A FAULTY CABLE. OWNER IS VERY CONCERNED FOR SAFETY. *AK
