After attempting to free the buckle and sitting in the truck for nearly an hour, my family member finally arrived home and had to cut the belt to release me. Thank god this incident did not involve a collision or fire. Reported the issue to chrysler customer assistance on the same evening via email. Still working to resolve the matter, nearly a month later. Seatbelt remains stuck in buckle and unable to be released. I refuse to pay $516 to have this repaired. …”
NHTSA complaint #10809350, filed 2015-12, 120,119 miles“The front driver's side seat belt retractor jams and does not keep the upper section of the seat belt tight against the driver's chest. When moving around during normal driving this causes multiple inches of slack to develop and the driver needs to manually pull out on the seat belt and feed it back to remove the slack. The upper mounting loop and the seatbelt itself are clean and not damaged.”
