I have had my Dodge Stratus ES for approximately 3 years and the back safety shoulder harness has quit working now 2 times. The first time I had it fixed under warranty and this last time the dealership refused to repair it without it costing a small fortune. I think there should there should be some kind of automatic repair of safety parts, such as, seat belts, etc without a small fortune having to be paid.
