“The front right passenger seat belt does not lock or click in place. I researched recall number 04v047000 and learned there were similar issues.

The dealer just took my info but offered no assistance.”
NHTSA complaint #10396724, filed 2011-04, 89,771 miles“My vehicle is a 2005 Chrysler town & country mini-van. The air bag warning light comes on frequently.

My sleeping son was allowed to fall forward in his booster seat because the seat belt did not catch. In every other car manufactured in the modern world, it take very little force to make the seat belts catch regardless of whether the brakes are applied or not. In the t&c, it takes a tremendous force to cause the 2nd and 3rd row seat belts to catch (brake not applied). The front seat belts catch instantly with little force. …”
