When I was trying to sell my car a father and son came to test drive it. They were both very tall (6' 10") and 100 pounds heavier than me. When they sat in the car and adjusted the seats the seat belts started to work. I had adjusted the seats with my wife in the passenger seat in the past, but they would never work. I'm thinking that the weight of the two did something to get the seatbelt unjammed. I never had a problem after that.

Hi,
 
I have the same problem. 2003 Sebring LXi conv, that had the airbag lite on when I bought it, from dealer at 16K mi. Dealer fixed it, by replacing tensioner(s). Then over the next 10K mi the problem recurred at least 2 more times, both times within the 36K complete warranty, both times fixed until the next occurence. Fine for about a year and a half. Car now has 42K (4yrs later) on it and the lite has been coming on again for the last several months. The temp fix is to do the slide the seat forward and back a few times then it is fixed for a while..sometimes a few hours, sometimes a few days. Crazy ain't it?
Now the car has developed a coolant leak, and I am taking it in to the Chrysler dealer to deal with this new problem. I plan to mention the airbag lite problem again, as it appears to be a design problem.
You know though, I like the car. It is my wife's car and we only really use it in the summer. I just am worried that these thing are precursors to it's rumored unreliability.
Hope this helps,
 
Robin

Where is the "center console" located? Are you talking about the console between the seats where the change holder is? Isn't there easier access than ripping it out?
 
Thanks!
