Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My seatbelt has unlatched 2 times, and I wasn't sure why until I heard this information. My concern is my two children who sit in the middle bench which have these gen3 seatbelts. I cannot believe that chrysler or whoever is responsible for this product would even take a chance with people's lives when it is such a simple fix. I guess they would rather million dollar lawsuits. They should be ashamed of themselves.”
NHTSA complaint #10016832, filed 2003-05“I was stopped with my foot on the brake. A truck hit me from the rear and knocked me into the car in front of me. My head hit the steering wheel breaking a small bone in my nose and brusing it and my upper lip and gums. I hit my left inside knee which was bruised and hurt. Xrayed, both mouth and knee and neck. The belt did not restrain me. The seat was thrown to a reclining position and I could not, after I came to my senses, make the lever work to upright the seat. The officer had to get in back seat and push it up with his feet. I have a report with that officer's name on it. …”
