Driver side seat belt locks when I first put it on but as I'm driving down the road, sometimes it will come unlocked by itself

The middle row passenger seat belt will no longer latch. There were no warnings. The seatbelt became unlatched on it's own while I was driving my children to school on 3/15/2024. I had to immediately pull over and call for help. None of my children are old enough to ride in the front seat, so this was quite scary. The seat belt has not been able to latch since.

The seatbelt looks as though it has been cut partially through by the fixed seatbelt guide on the middle row of seats. Those seatbelts hold in place two car seats for a young child and an infant. The seatbelts rarely get moved because we keep the car seats secured to the two middle row seats. The seat belts were briefly inspected by a service advisor at the Chrysler dealership, Taris, who stated that it looks like it could have been done by the seatbelt guide. The first time I noticed it was just on the driver side back in 2022. When I noticed an identical cut on the passenger side about a week to two weeks ago, I knew that there was a problem, and I also noticed that there is a secondary cut starting on driver's side because in March we had another baby and placed a new car seat base on the driver side seat. The driver side seat belt is now locked into place and cannot be viewed unless the side interior panel is removed. That has not been done at this time.

Passenger side middle row seat belt fails to fully latch, unless you move seat forward as to stow it and slam back.... This works most times but sometimes it clicks like latch but comes undone when you yank on it. I have videos of this concurring and have reported to chrysler who states this is not a problem.*dt *tr*dt

Seat belt locked in open so you cannot lock in seat belt. (male part of seat belt does not stay in female buckle). 1st time it did not stay connected, keept trying and then I got it to connect. The next time I went to use it it will not stay connected performed the t54 232t54182 safety recall on 12/26/17. Now it is the middle row outside seat buckle that is not working! The vehicle was stationary when not working.

I have chrysler pacifica 2004. Have taken good care of vehicle, no accidents. Vehicle began shaking violently when driving down road. I have brand new tires . Had them rebalanced couple of times . Still vibrating violently. My mechanic could not find any problems except that engine cradle for engine is badly rotted out with rust. I looked on line for problem and see that chrysler had not properly coated the engine cradle and has LED to frequent problems and dangerous driving conditions, due that the engine could fall out of vehicle. This is of no fault to owner. I didnt feel safe driving a vehicle that the motor could fall out of. This is a safety issue that chrysler should be responsible for. A consumer should not have to worry that there seat belt or air bag might fail and they definitely shoudnt have to worry about there engine falling out of there car while driving down the road, which could lead to a wreck or fire. Thank you for your time and consideration.
