“Seat belt locked in open so you cannot lock in seat belt. (male part of seat belt does not stay in female buckle). 1st time it did not stay connected, keept trying and then I got it to connect. The next time I went to use it it will not stay connected performed the t54 232t54182 safety recall on 12/26/17. Now it is the middle row outside seat buckle that is not working! The vehicle was stationary when not working.”
NHTSA complaint #11060871, filed 2018-01, 10,000 miles“I purchased a 2017 Pacifica and was told after I purchased it to bring it back for a seatbelt recall. I had an appointment and when I called to confirm I was told it was fixed before I purchased it ?? A week later I had a van full of children and my daughter was in the 2nd row , my husband came to a stop and the buckle broke and my daughter fell forward. My husband and I are very unhappy with this van and after hearing recall after recall we want out of this lease!! I called Chrysler customer care and put in a formal complaint and was told, their hands are tied”
NHTSA complaint #11053613, filed 2017-12, 2,000 miles“The seat belt on the passenger side in the second row seat fails to latch when you try to buckle it. It was working properly and has suddenly failed to latch on its own. The vehicle has 37k miles.”
NHTSA complaint #11195297, filed 2019-04, 37,000 miles“I test drove one of these vans at a dodge dealership in sacramento. When I sat in the third row middle seat, the seatbelt went over by neck rather than over my clavicle. As a board-certified emergency physician, I am well aware of the potential risk to life that this poses, and it was one of my reasons for not buying the vehicle. To be clear, I do not own this vehicle nor was I injured by it. However I am 5'9 tall and I think anyone less than 6 feet tall is likely to be injured by the seatbelt since it will not fit them correctly and there is no way to adjust it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10891509, filed 2016-07“The contact owns a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that the driver's side rear seat belt was unable to extend to latch his child into the seat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the driver's side rear seat belt assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.”
