Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Seat belts come unbuckled for no apparent reason. Front and rear seat belts have become locked and would not release when the release button was pressed. At least one of the seat belts were replaced while the van was under warranty for these problems. It has required several pushes of the button and pushing and pulling on the lap/shoulder belt before the belt releases from the part of the belt with the button. This has occurred in our 1995 Dodge Caravan which we bought new. …”
NHTSA complaint #10016196, filed 2003-04, 1,000 miles“Owner was driving at approximately 55 MPH and was rear ended. Upon impact, the seat belts failed to restrain the driver and the front passenger. The belt loosened. Since the seat belts loosened on the first impact, the occupants had no protection after that and were thrown all over the cab of the van.”
NHTSA complaint #10117832, filed 2005-05, 87,000 miles“I'm filling out this report not to complain about an incident but to prevent future ones. I've read and seen on television (primetime, abc news) the reports about the safety concerns of gen 3 seatbelts that have been installed in some Dodge vehicles. As an owner of a Dodge Caravan (that has gen 3 seatbelts) and more importantly as a mother of an infant, I would like to see these seatbelts recalled and replaced by the manufacturer. I would like to see the safer gen 4 seatbelts installed in all the vehicles they were originally placed in. Thank you.”
NHTSA complaint #760160, filed 2002-04“After air bag recall was performed, the warning chime sounded as the dome lights came on. Consumer felt defect is related to recall work performed. While driving at night, and using the multipurpose switch to go from bright high beam to normal headlights, the headlights suddenly went dark. The seat belt retractor failed.”
NHTSA complaint #10009771, filed 2003-03“Seat belt attachment bolt at driver's side shoulder was over tightened at the factory and may fail upon impact. The severly srtipped bolt was removed during side window replacement.”
