“The seat belts in the 3rd row have basically come apart. We have one on the second row that is begining to malfunction as well. Big problem when I habe 3 children that I take to & from school & events!! Big problem!!”
NHTSA complaint #10546488, filed 2013-10, 48,000 miles“1. I was in an accident in which my vehicle rear-ended another. Most of the front end of my vehicle will have to be replaced. The vehicle that was rear-ended is a total loss. 2. At the time of impact I was wearing my safety belt but it did not lock causing my upper body to hit the steering wheel with great force. Also none of my air bags deployed. 3. I have contacted the dealership and chrysler to make them aware of the failures. At this time, nothing has been done to correct these problems.”
NHTSA complaint #10260006, filed 2009-02, 10,000 miles“Seat belt alarm is malfunctioning. Even though the seat belt is buckled, the alarm constantly goes off while the car is in motion on a city street and a highway. It's a safety hazard because it's a distraction while driving. It also encourages the driver to take off their seat belt to see if they can deactive the sensor by having to rebuckle again.”
NHTSA complaint #10778391, filed 2015-09, 120,715 miles“1) the seat belt casing breaks away from the seat belt making it difficult if not impossible to insert and connect seat belt into receptacle. 2) interior door handle (rear passenger) suddenly quit working, not allowing passenger to exit vehicle. This is a serious safety issue in the event of an accident or other necessary emergency exit scenario.”
NHTSA complaint #10629114, filed 2014-08, 120,000 miles“The latch on the 2nd row passenger side seat belt fell apart and is unusable. The latch on the 2nd row drivers side seat belt is malfunctioning. It does not always accept the seat belt and if it does, will not release without significant force making it also unusable. Not only do we have no seat belts in the 2nd row (except for small center seat) but this is also causing the airbag warning indicator to come on & off while driving.”
