The passenger seat belt will have clicked and you assume all is well. The seat belt buckle will slip loose and the seat belt will wind back up. The passenger seat belt is therefore unreliable and dangerous. This could happen at any time, in motion ect.

What owners say
I have a 2007 caliber with close to 127k. Ive been experiencing the passenger seat belt not staying latched. You can click it in and pull on it... Then randomly it will unlatch itself. How is there not a re call on this issue?
Tl* the contact owned a 2007 dodge caliber. While driving at approximately 25 MPH, the contact depressed the brake pedal. A bottle was underneath the brake pedal, which caused the contact to crash into the rear of a truck. The air bags failed to deploy and the seat belt failed to retract. The contact sustained unknown injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed. The approximate failure mileage was 114,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Seat belt was buckled but became unlatched shortly thereafter.
Dt*: the contact stated the rear passenger seatbelt's latch tightened and would not allow the occupant to be extracted from the seat. This caused minor bruising to a child. The vehicle had the seatbelt replaced on two occurrences by a dealer who determined that the seatbelt was defective and covered under warranty. The vehicle was brought back for a third replacement. The seatbelt could not be used and was removed. The vehicle was not included in any recall due to the VIN.
