Issues with seatbelts which pop out when tension or force is applied on the belt. Passenger seat belt had first started to show signs of failure when the seat belts safety button would unclasp when braking. Now, after some time and usage the passenger's belt does not clasp fully at all and takes a good minute for it to catch. Driver's seat has started to show signs of this as well as when I had to brake hard and when pressure was applied to the belt, the clasp had given way and popped out.
My seatbelts will unlatch whenever it feels like it, the seatbelts won't go in by themselves anymore, amd this all happened after we fixed the recall. Then all in a year the throttle body quit working, the alternator stopped working, it will not keep a charge, and sometimes when your driving for no reason at all the inside lights will dim and brighten. This all happens while in motion except the battery constantly dying even though the alternator and battery are new.
Between in the middle of september til now. I purchase this vehicle on a monday with $500 down. 2014 dodger avenger with 74k and bought the other$500. So in total $1000 down. And when I bought the car up to the dealership. It had to get expected, no receipt for it or nothing so I don't know what they had expected. Therefore, everything was good.

It was good while it last but the second time same thing happen first time. I would like to get my down payment back along with the notes I was paying. Thank you and god bless.
