Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Driver side seat belt failure on our 1999 chrysler sebring convertible jxi. the seat belt locking mechanism fails to lock over time. the plastic locking clip inside the locking clip will break (did break) with continuous use. the dealer wants $100.00 + for the part. if chrysler used a stainless steel locking we would have this problem. also the transmission sensors have a limited life. after driving for 30 minutes or more during low deceleration and low acceleration the transmission bucks and or slips. right now i have swap the passenger side seat belt locking mechanism to the driver side and we sit in the back if we're a passenger because $100.00 right now is not affordable. also when it rains water fills in the rear quarters, right up to the speakers, i have to park on a hill to drain it! *nm
