THIS SEATBELT IS TOO EASILY UNLATCHED BY A SIMPLE TOUCH OF THE HAND OR ANY OTHER OBJECT. OUR GRAND CHILDREN CAN EASILY UNLATCH THE BELT AND HAVE DONE SO ON MANY OCCASIONS. I AM ALSO RESPONDING TO A REPORT VIEWED ON ABC NEWS ON THIS DATE (3-7-2002) CONCERNING THE GEN3 SEATBELT. AFTER THE REPORT, IT IS OBVIOUS WHY THE SEATBELT IS SO EASLIY OPENED BY CHILDREN. IT TOOK THE REPORT ON TV TO ANSWER MY QUESTION OF WHY THE KIDS HAD DONE THIS SO OFTEN, WITHOUT REALLY TRYING TO UNLATCH THE BELT. THIS IS A DANGER AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A REPLACEMENT OR SOME TYPE OF PROTECTIVE DEVICE.*AK

THE DASHBOARD AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT BEGAN TO STAY ON CONTINUALLY. UNDER WARRANTY, IN MARCH OF 2000, THE DEALER REPLACED BOTH THE AIRBAG AND THE CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY. THE PROBLEM APPEARED TO BE FIXED. HOWEVER, I BEGAN NOTING SEVERAL MONTHS AGO THAT THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON AT RANDOM TIMES. I SPOKE TO THE DEALER'S SERVICE REP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE CLOCKSPRING WAS AGAIN DEFECTIVE. I HAVE LEARNED THAT CHRYSLER HAS REPLACED SOME 124,000 OF THESE AT CUSTOMER COST. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO A RECALL ASAP. DON'T LET THEM STALL FOR YEARS AS YOU LET THEM DO WITH THE ENGINE FIRE RECALL. I JUST HAD THAT DONE, SOME 2 AND A HALF YEARS AFTER THE PROBLEM WAS APPARENT.*AK
