2024 Ram 2500 Seat belts Problems

“The drivers side front seat belt stopped retracting. It was fixed when the warranty was good. I also reported the passenger side, later wasn't retracting. It retracted fine when the dealer had it so they didn't do anything with it. Now the warranty is up and it's hardly ever retracting but they want me to pay for it even thought I reported it when the warranty was good. Also, the driver's side seat belt doesn't always latch. You have to shove it in several times sometimes before it clicks. Sometimes you think it's in and it will unhook later while you're driving down the road.”

“The seatbelt retraction system on my truck has been replaced twice on the drivers side and once on the passenger side. The truck only has 40,000miles. The seatbelt retractors don't keep the shoulder strap tight when you move or get the belt first buckled. This can cause an issue if you are to get in an accident when the belt is not tight against your shoulder.”

“Twice, the seatbelt recoil mechanism has failed. Not only will the seatbelt not self retract, potentially leaving a considerable amount of slack in the seatbelt, but also the seatbelt does not stop when it is pulled quickly, meaning that it doesn't actually do anything in the case of an accident. The original seatbelt on this vehicle did the same thing, and after I had it replaced, the replacement does the same thing, indicating that it is clearly a faulty component at a scale larger than an individual faulty piece.”

“The contact owns a 2024 RAM 2500. The contact stated that upon entering the vehicle and buckling the driver's side seat belt, the seat belt failed to retract as needed and was lying limp across the torso. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the seat belt retractor had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.”
