1999 Dodge RAM 2500 seat belts complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
On several occasions front seat beat retractors have stuck not allowing driver or passenger to use them. They will do this on every several months and then will act normal for a period. Dealer stated that it has to do with heavy braking and that the two seat belts operate independent of each other, but when one locks the other is also locked. We are of course a seat belt law state and hate being in violation of sc law. My mechanic has told me a recall was issued but unable to verify that fact.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 40 MPH the headlights failed due to a wire in the steering column. Additionally, the driver and passenger seatbelts failed. The dealership replaced the wiring in the steering column for the headlights, which remedied the problem. Although the manufacturer was alerted about the seatbelts, no appointment has been made for repairs.
My 17 year old son had an accident in a 1999 dodge 2500 ram truck and the airbags did not deploy. He hit several trees and the insurance company has considered the truck "neftr". We contacted dodge concerning this, they told us they would send a representative to inspect the truck and tell us why the airbags did not deploy. His seat belt also did not work properly. We have spoken with dodge again and they have no intention of sending anyone to look at our truck. We are wondering if there have been other such incidents concerning airbags in dodges larger trucks. We also would like to complain about the level of unconcern of the people working at dodge.
It is very difficult to latch and secure belt buckle,had to try 10 to 15 times before buckle will latch. Then, it is often times difficult to release buckle. Dashboard indicator for seat belt remains on even though belt is buckled. Please provide any additional information.
Combination seat/lap belt on driver's seat will not stay snug as directed in the owner's manual on page 22 warning section, column 1, item 2. Hiller co. Dealership has tried very hard to find an answer to possible solution; dodge customer service was totally unresponsive; customer's proposed solution is not being considered.
