In the t&c, it takes a tremendous force to cause the 2nd and 3rd row seat belts to catch (brake not applied). The front seat belts catch instantly with little force. The servicing dealership confirmed that the front seat belts and the 2nd/3rd row seat belts are of different design. Chrysler was unresponsive. This front seat belt issue occurred May. 22, 2004.

The vehicle is a 2007 Jeep Wrangler 4-dr 4x4. Crash was involved with this problem. Was in a car accident. The Jeep was sitting at a traffic light when it was hit from behind by a SAAB 93 going about 30-40 mph. The seat belt did not catch on the Jeep and thus my forehead struck the steering wheel. I was told by the Jeep dealer that with this model Jeep the seats belts do not catch unless they are engaged just right. So because I was in a stopped position and was at rest it would not have caught. I went to the emergency room following the accident with a severe contusion to my forehead. Having said this, the Jeep itself held up extremely well in the crash. The police man on duty said it was what saved me from further harm. I am nervous to drive this vehicle not knowing if the seat belts will work in the future. I also have 3 child seats in this car and worry about those as well. The dealership said they do not check these and wouldn't check it after the accident even though I requested it. The car was in their shop for 3 weeks. Please investigate and let me know what can be done. It was 02/28/08 when this front seat belt issue happened.

Front Seat Belt problem of BMW 335
The vehicle was a 2008 BMW 335i. Vehicle is not allowed recall since VIN# does not apply however all things wrong with vehicle are exactly what can be found under recalls: NHTSA campaign id numbers 12e029000,09v257000, 09v257000. BMW fairfax and BMW north America state recall cannot be processed because my VIN does not apply. It is bothersome to know that I am experiencing only these 3 problems that so happen to be the only errors and all 3 are on the recall list for my make, model, and year. Perhaps if more vehicles with my part numbers come forward then maybe BMW can own up and actually help current BMW owners with these malfunctions instead of forcing customers to pay out of pocket on known BMW recalls and malfunctions. The errors are enging and enging cooling: cooling system: fan, seat belts: front, and air bags:frontal. If you are having issues with BMW and them not budging on your malfunctions that hit the recalls please step forward because BMW needs to correct their malfunctions and not let us pay out of pocket on something put together improperly. The failure date was Monday, Jan. 14, 2013.

Front Seat Belt problem of Buick Riviera
The car is a 1998 Buick Riviera. The VIN of this vehicle is 1G4GD2218W_. Drivers seat belt stitching coming apart and will not hold in a accident. Thread used either rotted or defective. Armstrong service dept sent me to a auto upholstery shop to have it repaired, they refused to do it stating that it was against the law for them to work on it and to return to the dealership. The dealership said that they could order a new seat belt assembly and I would have to pay for it myself as the original warranty was not in effect. I stated that I bought a high quality vehicle from them and this is my 4th Buick, as I have always owned a Buick product because of their reputation and customer service. I explained to them the vehicle has only 55,594 miles and the seat belts should not fall apart as I purchased a high quality product and they should replace the defective seat belt. The service person mentioned to me to contact Buick customer service and get a case number 1-416031739. Their answer was that I should have purchased a extended warranty, but they would partially help pay for the new seat belt but did not mention any amount. I feel that this is unfair as I paid for quality and this should not be a issue. Buick should replace the defective part and I should not be charged for it. It was Tuesday, June 13, 2006 when this front seat belt issue occurred.
