I have a 2000 dodge caravan and have read the articles claiming the belts to be unsafe. My family has seen this happen we have had our child's seatbelt that holds his carseat in place come unlatched and at that time we couldn't figure out why. Now that we have read the articles about it I understand how and I am concerned. Not only is it unsafe for my child but I am continuously turning around and checking the seatbelt out of concern also and this means I am taking my eyes off the road. We have e mailed chrysler about this and haven't gotten a response from them and I have talked to the dealership about it and they just say that who ever is writing these articles are blowing it out of proportion. I don't think being concerned about my child safety is going overboard. Thank god we haven't had an accident when my child's seatbelt wasn't fastened or anything like that but I do want to have something done about these seatbelts.
My child's car seat came unattached this summer and fell over. I thought someone had detach the seatbelt but apparently I was wrong.
The chrysler gen3 seat belt issue must be corrected immediately. Anything short of an immediate recall is neglegent!!!
I own a 2000 dodge caravan and am concerned about the safety of the seat belt buckle. They do not meet safety standard ('buckle release mechanism shall be designed to minimize the possibility of accidental release.') and are dangerously prone to unlatching during auto accidents. The buckle, known as the generation 3 (gen3), may have been installed in as many as 16 million chrysler, dodge and jeep vehicles.*ak the buckle has become unlatched many times for my two childrens car seats and I know have to check them everytime I get in the car. Two women were killed and a child seriously injured in a roll-over accident dec. 28, 2002, near beeville, texas. This brings the total number of deaths to 17 and serious injuries to 27 in accidents in which gen3 buckles are believed to have unlatched. Please issue a recall to have the seatbelt replaced with one that meet standards and will do it's job to help protect my family in an accident.
Consumer states that the drivers side seat belt does not lock.
