“The rear passenger side seatbelt is locked. Our son was exiting the car ( and told us he couldn’t get his belt to retract. We also tried to get the belt to retract but were unable to do so. The truck has not been in any accidents, no visible wear on the seatbelt. We typically use the rear seatbelts for our children but now we cannot ride with 5 passengers safely in the vehicle. We took the truck to a RAM dealership in Hendersonville, NC who told us we would need to pay nearly $600 to repair the belt. …”

The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that the middle rear seat belt was operating as designed, and the dealer informed the contact that the middle rear seat belt was not designed as the outer rear seat belts. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. …”
