Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1993 EAGLE SUMMIT WAGON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT SEAT BELT ANCHORAGE SYSTEM FAILED IN THE VEHICLE. THE GUIDE RAIL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE CONTAINS A COVERED CABLE AND AN ANGLED BELT GUIDE AT THE TOP END OF THE WEBBING. OVER TIME, THE COMBINATION OF THESE FACTORS COULD LEAD TO THE CABLE'S MOVEMENT AND EXERT ABRADING FORCE TO THE LOWER EDGES OF THE CABLE'S CHAMBER. AS A RESULT, THE CABLE COULD DROP OUT OF THE CHAMBER WITH THE SHOULDER BELT ANCHORAGE BECOMING STUCK. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE PART THAT WAS NEEDED WAS NO LONGER BEING PRODUCED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE OVER 100,000.

DT: THE CONSUMER STATES THAT SEAT BELT DOES NOT WORK ON A 1993 EAGLE SUMMIT. THE CABLE JUMPED OFF THE TRACK AND WAS HANGING OUT. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, AND THEY LOCKED THE SEAT BELT IN PLACE. THIS WAS THE DRIVER'S SIDE BELT. CHRYSLER SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP THE CONSUMER AND TOLD HIM TO CALL THE HOTLINE. *AK
