In 2005 while entering onto the highway going home from some personal appointments a small car hit our full size van from behind and caused us to flip over and roll over 8 times and slide at least 2 city blocks before it stopped. We were not even doing the speed limit when we were hit. The front window shattered and glass was in our eyes but our airbags did not deploy. We were stuck upside down my seat belt was stuck and my husband had to pull me out of the driver side window. I had to treat for tmj problems, stress and trauma in my neck and back for a few years and I still have some issues. Do we have a claim against the manufacturer?

The child seat failure consisted of a cable connecting the latch plate to the belt tensioner mechanism. The failure is not faile "safe". A failure safe mode would maintain the seat belt and child restrained. The failure mode instead leaves the belt loose. This leaves parents with a false sense of security since they believe their child is safely restrained. This is also an expensive repair since chrysler designed the integrated child seats contained in the bench to be unmaintainable requiring parents to purchase the complete bench in excess of $600.

The child seat failure we experienced can easily go undetected. The cable connecting the latch plate to the seat belt retractor mechanism has broken which prevents the seat belt from tensioning and restraining our child. I f the driver does not have detailed understanding of how the seat belt should work the driver will be lulled into a false sense of security. When chrysler was contacted they offered to pay for half of the repair. I believe this is a design flaw that should be repaired by the manufacturer. I have owned reliable child seats which have endured for many years, all of which were far less expensive and none with such a silent and dangerous defect. I would appreciate your assistance and believe that this matter should be pursued for the benefit of the other unknowing drivers.

The seatbelt will rewind mechanism is locked and will not permit the seatbelt to extend. In this state a seatbelt is required. It is also a major safety feature that could prevent serious injury or death. Additionally, the seatbelt mechanism is not accessible by any apparent means without causing damage to the interior of the vehicle.

I was involved in an accident on the date given. The other party involved pulled out in front of me. I hit her at about 45 MPH. The main impact was around the location of my left headlight, driver's side and front. My airbag did not deploy, my seatbelt did not lock and restrain me and my back seat collapsed upon impact. Chrysler has sent an engineer to look at the van and I still have not heard back from them. The estimate is still not complete by stan's auto body and the total is already close to $5000. I had to seek medical treatment due to the safety features not performing. I was diagnosed as having a concussion, a contusion and a minor neck injury.as of today I have had a severve headache and some memory loss since the accident.
