1999 Dodge RAM 1500 seat belts complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 24 of 24, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My 1999 dodge ram seatbelts are stuck and will not work. Their is a recall for them but dodge says my truck is not one of the problem trucks the VIN number is not recalled.
On our 1999 dodge ram 1500. Seat belt locking up when driving on both driver and passenger sides. Also as read on the complaints reports, dash board is falling apart. These are safety issues that will affect peoples lives. What has been done to correct it?
Dash covering airbag's deteriorating, seatbelt doesn't rewind, seat back doesn't latch into a secure position. I wonder if the dash will explode on impact and will the shards of plastic cause further injury. During a sudden braking event will the seat back throw everybody in the vehicle into the dash if the seatbelts fail? No injuries yet. Can't afford all the repairs.
Tl* the contact owns a 1999 dodge ram 1500. The seat belt retractors will not release the seat belts on the driver and passenger sides. The mechanic advised the contact that the seat belt retractors were locked. However, the dealer refused to inspect the vehicle. The current and failure mileage were 145000.
Tl* - the contact stated that when she got into her 1999 dodge ram 1500 (failure mileage: 100000) the seat belts were retracted and locked. The contact took the vehicle to the shop and they notified her of the recall on the retractor. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that they were not aware of the recall and asked her to make an appointment. *jb updated 2/22/2007 - both front seat belt were locked in the retracted position and could not be used. The seat belt light is illuminated on the dash. The water pump has been replaced. The air conditioning has been replaced. The brake lines have been replaced. The rear end has been replaced. The driver's side window would not roll down.
The front seat belts will not release from the retractor for more room. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
When it is 75 degrees or warmer front seat belt could not be pulled out to properly restrain the driver and front passenger. Consumer contacted the dealer, who informed the consumer that this was caused by a malfunction in the mercury switches. *ak
Seat belt disengaged during a sudden stop to miss a deer.
Several cracks all along dash board from window seal to front of airbag/vent sections, when I showed the dealer who I bought it from, they brushed me off like I was complaining of cosmetic damage. I consider these cracks a manufacturer defect that hold vital components if I or my passengers were ever in a wreck, my vehicle interior was in excellent condition when I bought it from the used lot in october 2001, I can't say the same for the mechanics. The first day I had to return it for the harmonic balancer, then the emerg brake light stayed on, then the ABS brake light which lead to replacement of drums,rotors, and calipers. In feb 2003 I had to take it in for windshield wiper motor burn out, and this last month the waterpump went out. Can you advise me as to what is normal wear and tear and what parts aren't supposed to have to be replaced on a vehicle that now has 82,000 miles and regular upkeep? And if the sound of air blowing thru loose metal is what my truck should sound like when I accelerate from a normal stop? Thank you for your time,amber.
The seat belts failed to come out of the retractor housing there was a related recall 01v119000, however the consumer's vehicle identification number was not included in the recall. *ak
While appempting to stop the brakes did not stop the vehicle (vehicle has anti-lock brakes on rear wheels only), the seat belt did not hold the passenger causing him to move forward and hit both knees on the dash, the seat belt grabbed yanking passenger back into door and the passenger hit head on the window, air bags also failed to deploy.
