I bought this 1995 Dodge Dakota brand new in 1995 and it only has original 92,110 miles on it. The problem with this Dakota I have replaced the Drivers front seat belt and the replacement again is falling apart again where it will not release for a person to get out of. I don't know if the air bags will not deploy if the seat belt is not working properly. Again the seat belt needs to be replaced again as it physically is falling apart again.

Driver's seatbelt latch plastic case cracked, causing seatbelt to remain latched. Contacted 2 chrylser dealerships. One was unable to assist. The other did a computer search for all dodge warehouses. Found no parts in stock in proper color. There was an estimated 8 month wait for part. Part was replaced by used part, found at a junkyard. Second part failed as well, held together by tape at this time.
The plastic on the seat belt buckle broke and the casting had come off which resulted in the seat belt being stuck in the fasten position. *jb scc
