1993 Dodge Colt problems
The Dodge Colt is a subcompact car that was manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors and marketed by Dodge for model years 1971 to 1994 as captive imports. Rebadged variants include the Plymouth Champ and Plymouth Colt, both were marketed by Plymouth.
The Colt was initially a rebadged variant of the rear-wheel drive Galant and Lancer families before shifting to the smaller front-wheel drive Mitsubishi Mirage subcompacts in 1979.
First generation (1971–1973)
Introduced in 1970 as a 1971 model, the first generation Dodge Colt was a federalized first-generation Mitsubishi Colt Galant. Available as a 2-door pillared coupe, 2-door hardtop coupe, 4-door sedan, and 5-door wagon, the Colt had a 1,597 cc (97.5 cu in) 4-cylinder engine. The unibody layout was traditional, front engine and rear-wheel drive with MacPherson struts in front and a live rear axle. Standard transmission was a 4-speed manual, with a 3-speed automatic being an option. The engine was initially rated for 100 hp (75 kW), but dropped to 83 hp (62 kW) in 1972 when manufacturers revised the method of measuring horsepower from gross to SAE net. For 1973, a GT hardtop coupe model was added featuring rally stripes, sport wheels, and a center console amongst other features. The Dodge Colt was Chrysler's response to the AMC Gremlin, Ford Pinto, and Chevrolet Vega. As a captive import from Mitsubishi, the Colt also competed directly with other Japanese imports, such as the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic and Datsun 1200.

SEAT BELTS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 1998-03-01
- VIN: JB3CA11A4PU
- Components: SEAT BELTS
- Summary: THE FIRST 2 RECALLS WERE PERFORMED BY BLACKWELL DODGE. SINCE THIS TIME, MY SEATBELTS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND ARE NOW NON-WORKING. WITH REPEATED CALLS TO DODGE, NO HELP OR SOLUTION HAS BEEN OBTAINED. THE ONLY RESPONSE I HAVE RECEIVED THROUGH CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT DODGE IS THAT IS NOT THEIR FAULT AND THEY REPLACED THE PARTS REQUIRED OF THEM BY THE RECALL. THEY CLAIM THE PROBLEM IS WITH A "SENDER UNIT" AND/OR A "SENSOR PROBLEM" ON THE AUTOMATIC SHOULDER BELT SYSTEM. THEY WERE ALSO QUICK TO INFORM ME THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE PARTS. SEATBELTS ARE A MATTER OF HIGH PRIORITY. I FEEL DODGE HAS INSTALLED DEFECTIVE PARTS AND ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEMS, BUT REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY FEEL IT IS NOT THEIR "PROBLEM". IF THEIR PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE, THEN THEY SHOULD BE REPLACE WITH NEW WORKING PARTS AT THEIR EXPENSE. HOW CAN A CAR COMPANY NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE NUMBER ONE SAFETY FEATURE AS REQUIRED BY LAW WHEN IT MALFUNCTIONS? I HOPE THIS MATTER WILL BE ADDRESSED BECAUSE DODGE IS NOT AND HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL IN THIS MATTER. I AND MY PASSENGERS ARE FACING UNDO RISK BY THE LACK OF WORKING RESTRAINTS. WE ARE LIMITED TO THE MANUAL LAPBELT. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATE AND REMEDIED ONE WAY OR ANOTHER -- EITHER BY REPAIRING THE SEATBELTS TO LIKE NEW WORKING CONDITION OR REPLACING THESE AUTOMATIC NIGHTMARES WITH MANUAL SEATBELTS. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT BECAUSE I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING FROM THE FIRST ONE LAST YEAR. THANK YOU. *AK

SEAT BELTS PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-11-24
- VIN: JB3CA11A9PU
- Components: SEAT BELTS
- Summary: THE DRIVER'SIDE SHOULDER BELT WAS REPLACED THROUGH RECALL IN 1997. IT HAD ORIGINALLY FAILED SEVERAL MONTHS PRIOR TO THAT. AT THAT TIME, I REQUESTED THE PASSENGER SIDE SHOULDER BELT ALSO BE REPLACED, BUT DEALER INFORMED ME IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. SINCE THEN, THE PASSENGER SIDE SHOULDER BELT HAD FAILED NUMEROUS TIMES, IN THAT IT FAILED TO RETRACT AS DESIGNED WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. I COULD OFTEN MAKE IT DEPLOY BY OPENING AND CLOSING THE DOOR AND "TIMING" THE IGNITION JUST RIGHT--BUT THIS DIDN'T ALWAYS WORK. FINALLY, IT FAILED COMPLETELY; IT HAS NOT WORKED AT ALL FOR MOST OF 1999. THE DRIVER'S SIDE ALSO OCCASIONALLY SHOWS THIS SYMPTOM. BUT IT ALSO SOMETIMES RETRACTS WHILE I'M DRIVING, WHICH PUTS IT IN A PLACE WHERE IT RESTRICTS MY ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR. CALLS TO FUSZ HAVE ONLY GOT ME RUDE RESPONSES. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. MY PASSENGERS AND I ARE NOT PROTECTED. I WANT TO WEAR PROPER RESTRAINT--I DON'T NEED A LAW TO TELL ME SO--BUT I AM PREVENTED FROM IT THROUGH FAULTY MANUFACTURING AND/OR DESIGN. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *AK
