The seatbelts in the front of my 2000 Convertible Sebring stopped working. The fuses are OK. Are there any suggestions on how to fix them?

Go to www.corvairkid.com/sebring to learn more. The belt is electrical. If you have power, the belt will come out. No power, no extend.

sebring driver seatbelt problem

The cause of the driver seatbelt problem is due to the way some Chrysler clown routed the harness.
I bought a used 96 JXI with a non-working driver seatbelt and discovered after ripping out the center console, that the cause was a shorted harness.
The harness is routed in-between the 2 piece seat track and over time will shortout to the rail. This will not blow the fuse, because in the control module they have a current limiting resistor built in.
Solution is to cut the harness and splice the matching 4 wires back together.

Hey, I had the exact same problem! Except mine was the front passenger side. I dont kno if you had already corrected the problem, I brought mine into a garage and they said that i need to bring it into a body shop! BS I fixed it myself, it takes some time and a little frustration but well worth it than paying to get it fixed. What the problem is is that the release spring gets jammed inside the controle. You have to un hook the seatbelt at the base of the seat, unhook the material, mine was cloth seats, and pull the material up and over JUST where the seat belt comes out of the seat, there will be a screw to take off the cap, undo it all take it apart, u will find the spring put it pack in the right area, and your good to go. It takes time but worth it

Hey guys, I was seriously considering buying the new '07 sedan, but then I heard this disturbing incident from my friend. He had got the '07 limited edition and somehow bumped into a tree. The driver-side air bag did not even come off!!!!
Is that one stray incident or does the Chrysler quality issues still persist??

How fast was the car moving when it bumped the tree? Airbags are designed to only deploy at a certain speed or greater. Something similar to a low speed parking lot bump probably wouldn't cause it to go off.
It does go through a checklist when you start the car. If the computer senses that the airbag circuit is faulted the airbag light in the instrument cluster stays on.
I haven't heard about any issues with the Sebring and failed airbag deployment. You might see if a Google search turns up anything.

I also have a 2003 LXI Convertible and have been dealing with the air bag light issue for several years. The first time occured under warranty. The dealer replaced the seat beat tensioner in the right seat. This fixed the problem for about 9 months. Since then, the car has been in the shop at the dealer at least once and sometime twice a year. The service advisor at Carl Burger Chrysler told me that he is aware of the problem for the Sebring model. The big problem is when the Air Bag light is illuminated, all the air bags are disabled and will not deploy in an accident. This is a dangerous situation and can result in injury or death.
