“2000 Dodge Grand Caravan - the front driver side seat belt will periodically and spontaneously un-latched. It just comes un-latched on its own - without moving it or touching it. Very dangerous!!!! If I get in an auto accident, and the seat belt becomes un-latched, not only will I probably get killed, but it will look like I wasn't wearing my seat belt. Please have chrysler recall the models prone to this!!!”
NHTSA complaint #10159965, filed 2006-06“I own a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan and I want the gen 3 seat belts recalled. I have 2 child restraints installed on the same row next to each other and worry that in an accident the seats may possibly unbuckle each other due to the gen 3 belts. My seats are installed with zero movement at the belt path, but as well all know seat belts do stretch in an accident and who is to say that they won't hit the buckle release mechanism?”
NHTSA complaint #10203392, filed 2007-09“I own a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan and I want the gen 3 seat belts recalled. I always make sure everyone buckles up before I even put the van in drive, but what good will that do if the seat belt comes undone?”
NHTSA complaint #10016916, filed 2003-05“The safety belt used to strap in my 1yr old daughter's car seat has came unbuckled a number of times when my 7 yr old is buckling her own belt and barely bumps the release button with her hand or elbow.”
NHTSA complaint #759105, filed 2002-03“The passenger front seat belt comes unlatched at various times and speeds. The vehicle was taken to jenkins chrysler south, lavale md on 8/24/2001 where the problem was observed and parts were ordered. I was then told there would be a $100.00 deductible charge as the vehicle was now under the extended warranty. When I questioned this charge and said that I didn't feel there shoud be a charge because it was a safety item, I was told that chrysler would not cover the out of warranty repair and I would have to pay. …”
