I had my truck at the dealer for a recall, I noticed my seatbelt wasn't locking when I pulled on the shoulder strap. I asked them to look into this when my vehicle was there. They did, said the seatbelt was defective, but chrysler was not going to cover this. After further review none of my seatbelt shoulder straps lock when you pull on them fast. I have a crew cab truck so that is 5 seatbelts with shoulder straps. My dealership was on the phone with chrysler for over an hour trying to get them to cover this safety defect, they just kept saying no, truck is out of warranty. After reading all these complaints, will my airbags deploy if I'm in an accident? I don't know and hope I don't have to find out the hard way. This happens all the time driving or standing still. The dealership told me the seatbelts are defective. This should be addressed asap, no one should have to pay for a safety issue.

This is the third event or incident surrounding this air ride suspension system: 1. The first incident was in jan 2017 after getting up to alaska. This time almost caused a major accident. Without warning, the vehicle fell while driving and slid out in traffic. The seatbelt locked in place and malfunctioned. Gene's chrysler ended up changing out some of the hardware and parts. 2. The second incident was not as bad on november 2017, this time the warning lights came on. After allowing the truck to sit a few days waiting for chrysler to provide an appointment, and changing all the fuses, the suspension raised up again. 3. Time number 3 was on january 31, 2018. This time, the truck was towed to gene's chrysler on february 01, 2018. The vehicle fell to the ground again and was not moving the speed limit because of slower traffic conditions. Right now, the truck is still in the shop because more parts need to be replaced and the dealership is waiting on the manufacturers' recall for this air ride suspension system. We are very concerned about our team out there in alaska but now, this is happening to vehicles all over the country during real cold weather. It's like a national crisis now and needs everyone in the transportation department to please do something before someone dies because of these malfunctions and the defective air ride system. Now that it has been 40 days without our ministry having their vehicle in alaska, what will the federal safety agency do to help our pastor and ministry up there? It is so sad that no one seems to care until all these reports of injuries and even deaths, will the government step in and help the people now? Also, will you please call the fca and the dealership service people to ask how much longer, another 10 days is too long? Thank you for allowing us share what's going on & hope we will hear back from you more sooner than later
