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. *AK
